Hi reptilezone2002, welcome to the Linux Mint forums :D Your post should probably go here, so I've moved it. Thanks for joining the forums!

Be sure also to check out the Community website (tutorials, hardware and software reviews, ideas), and the Cinnamon Spices website for adding even more themes, applets and extensions to Cinnamon.

You can also chat in real-time with other Linux Mint users. In the Mint Menu, in the Internet section, start the application XChat IRC. You will automatically get connected to #linuxmint-chat for general chat and #linuxmint-help for support with other Linux Mint users.

Have fun with Linux Mint.

You can easily have Cinnamon work with two panels :D Open Cinnamon Settings, go to Panel, change Desktop layout to Classic (panels at the top and at the bottom).

That you can be sure of, our main developer dislikes those things as much as you do. But the Nautilus changes were made by Gnome, not by Ubuntu, though, Mint will have the same Nautilus unless patches are made or another file manager is chosen as the OS default.

thats sad but i didnt saw the main prob with nautilus in mint13 mate.. the file size calculation thing.. its very confusing in ubuntu.. without the real world changing y did they do that .. eg. size of an empty cd is still 700Mb not 730Mb or so

ok couple of things so far in cinnomon

1. its very unstable crashed 5 times now
2. the filesize canculation thing is here in cinnomon. but not in mate
3.the clock is always wrong

may b will just use mate for now untill cinnomon becomes more stable & mature one thing i like in cinnamon beside the eye-candy is the use of low ram & cpu . thats great

Have you updated Cinnamon to latest version? A bug affecting some users' stability was just fixed few days ago. But MATE is also awesome :mrgreen:
