The only package to be updated was precisely Cinnamon, and in the next session after the update there was no inferior panel nor window manager, although I was able to login into a Cinnamon session. I tried everything, but the only way to solve the problem was to purge Cinnamon and Muffin (only removing wouldn't solve it) and get the older versions of them from the repositories.
Where did I go wrong? Should I compile the stable version?
*I restarted the session and Cinnamon as well several times. The trouble came only with the update.
