Ubuntu 11.10, Cinnamon 1.2, two users in my account, clean (fresh) installation of everything.
First I made login with the user A, then I lock the account and log in with the user B. Then I logout user B (not locking) and I try to re-enter into user A account, but:
- I see the app windows, but no title bar
- I don’t see Cinnamon bars
- I don’t remember all key shortcuts, but usual ATL-TAB, ALT-F4 and more didn’t work, CTRL-F4 on Firefox works (closing tabs) as well as right click on app windows.

It seems like Cinnamon stops on user logout, even if another user is using it. It could be correct if the second user preferes Unity, for instance, but the routine should check it before…
