Programs and new Windows won't appear on desktop?

Post by ciscostud »

The Cinnamon panel and menus are working but nothing will display on my screen when I open a new window or program. I just see my desktop...very weird?

The programs are running because I can still see them in the panel minimized.

Not sure what happened but something maybe after I uninstall wine?

Tried to uninstall and reinstall cinnamon but nothing? (sudo apt-get install cinnamon)

Anyone have a guess?

I'm using MATE in the meantime but I want Cinnamon back.

FML :cry:

Probably the mix between 2 DEs is the culprit.
