Hi Fabio, hi Max,

language-selector-gnome but without install recommends or will add part
of gnome DE if I remember good

Ummmm, looked into that now, seems to be overboardingly large in
requirements, apt daemon, installation of lang packs, ...

I had received theinvitation from clem, if you want ask to it is in the
public chat here: irc://irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-dev

Ok, joined there and will ask if things arise.


Looking at the open stuff, I don't see anything that you mentioned that
we can fix in a reasonable time frame (besides the rejected idea of
adding more panels).

What do we do with the upload to unstable?

There is the option to fallback to cinnamon without 3d parts applet/extension on the wrapper other that only restart with other panels.

Should be simple but I not have enough knowledge (or memory) of gtk, python and c for do it fast.

I mean to change:

https://github com/linuxmint/cinnamon/blob/master/files/usr/bin/cinnamon-launcher

doing instead of yes/no for example a multiple seletion: restart cinnamon without 3d parts appl/exts (add to cinnamon a parameter for start without .local/share/cinnamon/), start other panel (reuse part already present) and don't restart

about start without 3d part appl/ext ecc... from a grep with path seems need change any part that use it and not only once (or at least I didn't found it):

in files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_desklets.py:

directories = [("%s/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets") % GLib.get_home_dir(), "/usr/share/cinnamon/desklets"]

(with the new parameter passed "generate" directories without the first entry)

in files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_extensions.py:

directories = ['/usr/share/cinnamon/extensions', ("%s/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions") % GLib.get_home_dir()]

in files/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_applets.py:

directories = [("%s/.local/share/cinnamon/applets") % GLib.get_home_dir(), "/usr/share/cinnamon/applets"]

or if upstream developer know better method to do this change is better

about other things in the review I gave a fast look to bugs report and there are some good to check if still present but I didn't had time to upgrade my sid installation and test the 4.2

Best

Norbert
