Cinnamon 2.6.6-1: no taskbar, no program frames/title-bars

After upgrading via pacman to Cinnamon 2.6.6-1 (and updating all other installed cinnamon-* packages) from latest 2.4.x version, the taskbar (usually on the screen's bottom) does no longer show up and programs have no menu title anymore and are aligned on the left-top corner when started - unable to drag/move them.

(Not a huge issue, but also the desktop background changed from a blue-ish color to black).

Have you got an idea what to do to solve that issue or where to look at?

Thank you!

System: x64 in VirtualBox, Host Windows 8.1 x64.

Addendum: And the mouse-cursor has the shape of an "x" instead of an arrowhead.

Same here. Even tough the desktop is fine.

For me a reinstall by simply doing a

````
pacman -S cinnamon
````

fixed it for me.

Solved: For me, a "pacman -S cinnamon" alone didn't do the trick (already tried that before) - I needed a "pacman -Syu" and "pacman -S cinnamon".

You can run 'pacman -Syu cinnamon' in one go.
