Package: cinnamon
Version: 3.2.7-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I installed a Debian 9 to a minimal state (nothing at all selected to install).
Logged into Debian 9 command line, started su, and ran the following commands:
apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xfonts-base xinit --no-install-
recommends

apt-get install cinnamon-core lightdm libgl1-mesa-dri x11-xserver-utils --no-
install-recommends

when I rebooted, the system came up to log in screen with no issues.

when the Cinnamon desktop appeared, network-manager-applet failed with
LookingGlass error of "Requiring NMGtk, version none: Typelib file for
namespace 'NMGtk' (any version) not found"

I have reinstalled the machine and replicated numerous times.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I was able to fix it by adding the following command at the end.
apt-get install libnm-gtk-dev

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I rebooted and the applet started with no issues

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I thought the Cinnamon install would allow for the network-manager-applet to
start without having to add any developer packages
