[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#789122: Follow Up: Cinnamon Freezes

[Antony Cube]

As a follow up to my bug report, it could be useful to add the logs.

The freezes appear to be reported as:
[user] acpid: client xxxx[0:0] has disconnected

A relevant excerpt from my log is:

In that instance, the desktop froze at 01:18:34 and never stopped until a
reboot.  Audio can still be heard during the freeze.

Potential solutions:
1) After searching for similar errors, I found a number of entries about
client disconnects on various Linux forums.  I came across a suggestion to
reinstall acpid.  I reinstalled the package and haven't experienced a
freeze since, but I cannot confirm if this is really a fix.

2) Another bug report (#780553) <780553 at bugs.debian.org>was solved by
installing Cinnamon 2.6.  I will test this possibility.

In any case, if anyone knows why this bug occurred, please let me know.
