Cinnamon crashing on Stretch

[Paul Anzel <panzel@caltech.edu>]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently running Debian Stretch* and ran the usual apt-get
update/upgrade yesterday. Subsequently, when I tried rebooting my
machine Cinnamon keeps on crashing, giving me a prompt to go into
Fallback mode (and if I tell it to restart Cinnamon, it just keeps on
giving me the prompt again and again).

I tried uninstalling Cinnamon and then reinstalling it, and the problem
persists.

Is anyone else having this problem? Do I just need to wait a few weeks
for the next upgrade (and try some other GUI), or is there something
else I can do?

Thanks for the advice,
Paul

*I realize upgrading to Testing this early may have been a foolish choice.
