![]() On my main system, I had once tried out of curiosity to enable desklets from system settings, only to have them not display. I wasn't too worried about it-except from then on, the panel would on restarting cinnamon about half the time become unresponsive to the mouse, and the hot corner also disabled. Purging Cinnamon from a gnome-shell desktop and reinstalling did not help, nor did removing all non-default applets. Rolling back to version 1.7.1 DID help-and displayed a "system settings" desklet I had never seen before. I clicked on it, clicked on "remove this desklet" and it disappeared. Re-updated to 1.7.4, logged out and back in, and the panel freezes were back. I replaced /usr/share/ cinnamon/ js/ui/desklet. Last month I was playing around with Desklets on Linux Mint and I thought to develop one of my own. js with a blank (empty) file, and deleted /usr/share/ cinnamon/ desklets entirely and the problem has yet to return. So, why not choose a topic that is relevant and people would love to get some regular updates on. So, I made a Linux Mint Desklet that shows COVID-19 stats for India. When running Cinnamon from cinnamon -replace in terminal, I would get on only those instances where the panel and hot corner were unresponsive references to a line 823 in /usr/share/ cinnamon/ js/ui/layout. The exception would always be an inability to convert a decimal value somwhere around but not equal to 4 to an integer, and somewhere in all the text before it was the word "desklet" which reminded me of exactly when the problem started and what might fix it. ![]() Purging didn't remove whatever had changed when I first played with the desklets in system-settings, but removing the desklet code from cinnamon seems to have decisively fixed it.
