Frankly I'm shocked the package maintainers let this upgrade through. I see I'm not the only one with this problem. It's super annoying.
]]>Cinnamon works with Gnome 3.4 and with some hacks with Gnome 3.6 but today Arch has Gnome 3.8. At this moment Cinnamon is not compatible with it.
If you want to use it, you need to downgrade to 3.6.
According to a Trusted User in this thread [ Cinnamon desktop is incompatible with Gnome 3.8? ]. Cinnamon has been patched for 3.8 as of yesterday at least.

]]>I did a recent packman -Syu upgrade this morning
I get to the gnome login screen -- type the password -- and then after about a few minutes get a Oh no, Something has gone wrong screen popup -- but the funny thing is later I see the cairo dock appear with the various icons, and can even open up a program -- but have no control of moving the frame which I think is window manager functions.
I looked in pacman.log and the following packages were upgraded:
yelp
gnome-user-docs
nome-user-share
gnupg
gpgme
libgee06
gwibber
libsocialweb
libusbx
linux
linux-headers
linux-lts-headers
llbm
metacity
libnautilus-extension
nautilus
notification-daemon
p11-kit
sip
python2-sip
qtwebkit
texlive-core
totem
totem-plugin
udisks2
webkitgtk2
wine
I didn't post the version numbers (which I can) since I'm typing this by hand. It appears the kernel can boot just fine since I can get to a command prompt without a problem and such. This in my opinion would seem like a window manager issue. I could possibly downgrade all the gnome items, however the only item I'm missing is libnautilus-extension where this package wasn't kept within /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
Is there a log file that the window manager logs to (journalctl??).
