Cinnamon Desktop+Screensaver rnd freezes

[elgeeko]

Hello everybody!

I am having a problem with random freezes of my Cinnamon Desktop on Mint 16. My Mouse still moves, but nothing is clickable. They just occur out of the blue, or at least that's what my lack of experience tell's me to believe. A STRG+ALT+Backspace brings me back to the Desktop.
This also occurs sometimes when my pc idles and the monitor turns off for a longer period of time. All i see then is the dimmed Screensaver lock screen with no reaction to input. I tried turning off the lock function in screensaver settings, but it didn't help in stopping this behavior.

This is probably a very generic question, but maybe someone can point me in a direction of where to look, since im more a less a newbie when it comes to troubleshooting a linux installation.

Best Regards,
el

I found this entry in my system logs:

I do however have some applets, desklets, and other things installed from the Linux art website via my Settings. One person said to slowly put back each one until I see which one causes a bunch of .xsession errors. I don't know if that'll be case, but it's what I've Googled thus far. Feedback would be appreciated.

It would be better to make a new thread with your question Warr-E
