Crashes from Cinnamon

Lately there have been lots of people, including me, having problems with Cinnamon crashes. Probably its Xorg problem but I I don't know how to properly debug this.

My journalctl -b looks like this. This crash happens when I try to change Cinnamon theme from the Theme manager. There are lots of core dumps but I have no idea what can be my next step to get to the bottom of the problem. This started to happen around last Cinnamon update. I'm going to try installing other DEs cause when I tried GNOME crashes don't happen so I would imagine it's something Xorg cause Wayland doesn't crash.

These are my Xorg.1 and Xorg.0  log files.

I get crashes when running Steam from menus and people got crashes with Blender. If I try to run Steam from terminal everything is fine.
