@SSDMAD Can you provide the contents of $HOME/.cinnamon/glass.log and $HOME/.xsession-errors ?

[Cobinja]

Please let it crash, then provide both

[SSDMAD]

Hi @Cobinja , Yeah i will provide it with a pleasure :)
First file $HOME/.cinnamon/glass.log have just today log. not the day when the cinnamon crashed.
About file $HOME/.xsession-errors have nothing in it about the desklet.
Did you want me to provide it anyway? or let the cinnamon crash then provide it?
Thanks

Hi @Cobinja,
I didn't see anything in both files about the crash.

$HOME/.cinnamon/glass.log

Hope this is a good feedback.

Sadly there's no useful info in the logs. Does this still happen?

@Cobinja When debugging through the analog clock desklet, Cinammon crashed on me once or twice. But not every time I added it to the desktop. I was also attempting to use the "Developer Tools" desklet and was having the same issue with Cinnamon crashing. The output I was getting from glass.log wasn't very helpful, but the .xsession-errors output that I was getting looks to be quite different from what @SSDMAD posted. When I get a free moment today, I'll post my .xsession-errors output for you to look at it. I'll also compare it against the "Developer Tools" .xsession-errors output and let you know if there is anything similar.
