[SOLVED] Cinnamon | System settings button doesn't do anything

Hi, I installed Arch Linux last week with cinnamon 2.6.13.

I think that the button in the bottom left corner in the following pic is the system settings:

I click it and nothing happens. The other 2 buttons, lock and power work great though.

running

cinnamon-settings

in a terminal works great. What I want to know is if I'm missing something, are there any additional installation steps? because the wiki only says to install it using pacman, nothing else.

That drop down window is from Gnome not Cinnamon.

As Durden points out, that window is from GNOME. The package needed is gnome-control-center.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon | System settings button doesn't do anything

Yes, you guys are correct. I did not select Cinnamon in the display manager's session menu, and GNOME was selected by default. I was missing a lot of GNOME packages but now I installed them with pacman and everything works great in both Cinnamon and GNOME.
Thanks for the help.
