I've made a new installation, on a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 with SSD and the
same amount of memory (2x2GB). But I cannot reproduce the problem
anymore. I've tested with the same type of hardware, but not the same
device. The SSD is the same make, but another modell.

What I still hear is a processor-fan what makes noice after logging in,
so the processor is busy. But after a few seconds it's gone. After
giving the gesettings-command I don't see changings in this.

I will do a bit more tests. I did tests with Cinnamon version 3.2.7-2.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis
