[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#858880: cinnamon: Sometimes 100% CPU after starting

[Paul van der Vlis]

Package: cinnamon
Version: 3.0.4-2~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I had to make a laptop for many users with autologin, and wanted to use
Cinnamon. I have used Debian 9 RC2 and the latest updates available on
2017-3-27.

I have seen many times that Cinnamon used 100% CPU after the displaymananger
did the autologin. I've tested with Lightdm and with GDM3. Sometimes Cinnamon
started after some time, sometimes it did not (or my patience was not big
enough).

I have also tested some other desktops with Debian 9 RC2, I did not see this
problems with Mate. Not sure the problem is only there with autologin.

I have also seen other computers and laptops without this problem. I have
tested with 3 different laptops, but all of the type Lenovo Thinkpad X220 with
SSD. It is not really difficult to reproduce, but it's not always there. Maybe
it's a timing-problem.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis
