Cinnamon upgrade issue - Startup slow

Hey,

After upgrading to Gnome 3.10 and the new Cinnamon I experience much longer startup time after login until the Panels and Icons show up.
I could not find anything unusual in glass or xorg log.
Does anybody else experience this?

It works fine on my rig as well. I didn't have any problems when I was testing the Cinnamon Nightly repository on Linux Mint and I am not having any problems now.

Maybe you can try to change the content of ~/.xinitrc to

exec cinnamon-session-cinnamon

Mine was

exec gnome-session-cinnamon

and I couldn't login too, then I changed this file and it worked. I hope this can help you.

Damn, that worked for me. Thanks a lot, FrankLee.
Although session is starting too slow, but looks like it's gnome3.10 problem.

Yeah, cinnamon desktop was slow to load on my netbook, something like 30-40 seconds between lightdm to cinnamon session and just  waiting and watching blank black screen, painful. Maybe cinnamon need to have splash screen/loading screen like in KDE.

Re: Cinnamon upgrade issue - Startup slow

On my machine, I get to wait maybe 10-12 seconds after login until my actual desktop shows up. This would probably feel very slow if it wasn't for the maybe 1 minute long wait after I ask it to reboot/shut down. Just sits there doing apperently nothing until finally it goes black. I don't know if the slow startup issue and the slow shutdown issue are related, but it seems very possible.
