Description:
After logging into Cinnamon I only get black screen with cursor (very frequently, but eventually it works okay) and in background .xsession-errors is filling with same error over and over again until machine goes out of RAM or X.Org is restarted.

It is already reported here https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5569 - seems to be an Ubuntu specific feature. Fedora has already fixed that so it would be nice to use that patch for Arch package too.

Additional info:
cinnamon-3.2.1-4 - but it is there since 3.0
Fedora path
- http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/cinnamon-settings-daemon.git/tree/csd-background-manager.patch
- http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/cinnamon-desktop.git/tree/gnome-bg.patch
This task depends upon

I'm facing this issue since replacing the mechanical HDD in my laptop with an SSD. I decided to try out the patches posted above. I compiled cinnamon-desktop and cinnamon-settings-daemon using ABS with the posted patches. The patches apply successfully with no errors.

The problem still persists only it's not as frequent as it was before the patches. Prior the the patches I could successfully login once out of 10 reboots. Since using the patches I can login maybe 50% of the time.
