In the attached xsession-errors file I see a weird sequence of actions, and
I'm not sure if the output is mixed with some other session.
Can you please copy the file before trying to start a failing application?

So we can see the output generated by the failing application (just the
difference pasted in paste.debian.org would be ideal).

It's highly disrecommended to use a graphical session as root.

I think the video driver you are using is dying when the composite manager
tries to start.

Mmh, and it also dies in the fallback mode.

That's the end of the cinnamon session.

I don't know why you are running gnome-panel, but that's not cinnamon related.
So, this seems to be another desktop environment session, did you start it or
was automatically started?

That's interesting, in the sense that, this shouldn't happend.

Can you please let us know if you can use any composite window manager at all?

Also, there are no traces of evitvte or the file manager failing in this log.

Happy hacking,
