The switch user function which is located under the menu is not working. When I click on it nothing happends and I can't see any error message.

You're going to be sick of me saying this by now, but I've just tested it and it works.

That said, I'm running the MDM with Cinnamon combination.

No, that's good to know. As I'm running lxdm with cinnamon, it seems that the problem is related to lxdm. Thank you, I'm going to modify the subject.

I've tried to follow the explanations here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LX … hing_users, but creating /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver did not fix the issue. However, if I create /usr/bin/mdmflexiserver instead, I'm able to switch users from the user applet, but not from the menu.
Does anyone know which command is expected to run in cinnamon/lxdm when switching users ?

Currently Cinnamon supports only GDM, MDM and LightDM for user switching. If you want to get LXDM support, then open an upstream feature request: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues

Ok, thanks for pointing that out. I've opened an upstream feature request as suggested (https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/3083).
