[SOLVED] Cinnamon crashes

After last update I have an issue with windows, everything seems working but every panel is shown in windows a top panel, bottom one and other windows look quite different from those I used to have before updating.
Looks like a raw xorg's windows which I can't close and make smaller or bigger.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon crashes

As I found out the issue was due to having non commented

twm &

in my

.xinitrc

file. I don't know why it appeared there after system update.

That code launches TWM window manager and cinnamon's one fails to start.

If you look at my screenshot above you might notice strange window borders they look exactly as windows in TWM wiki page screenshots

TWM windows manager

The fix is just to comment that line out.
