Description:
Nemo file manager fails to launch. The program prints following error message:

$ nemo

(nemo:1314): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.cinnamon.background' is not installed

Jäljitys/katkaisupisteansa (luotiin core-tiedosto)
$

Solution:
Install community/cinnamon package.

Note: Though the Cinnamon package has Nemo listed as a optional dependency, quite a lot of people use Nemo File Manager without using the Cinnamon Desktop Environment.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
community/nemo 1.7.3-1
community/nemo-fileroller 1.7.1-1
community/cinnamon 1.7.4-2

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Nemo file manager.
2) Try to launch said program (it will fail)
3) Install cinnamon package
4) Try launching the file manager again (it will now succeed)
This task depends upon

The problems is this commit https://github.com/mtwebster/nemo/commit/020d4dc15fa9c0e1303cef7795e45e688ede7726

Nemo or Nautilus doesn't draw the desktop background anymore, and the background plugin was merged in cinnamon, so I will look into it but right now it is neccesary to have cinnamon installed

I was talking with Clem (linux mint) and he told me that in the future, that feature will be in muffin, but he also told me that nemo is not intended to be outside the cinnamon environment and in the future the link between them is going to be thinner, so right now cinnamon is a (so to speak) hard dependency of nemo
