Description of problem: I installed a fresh copy of Fedora 20 x86-64 inside a VirtualBox VM. On first boot I did a complete yum update and installed virtual box guest additions then rebooted. Then I installed the 'Cinnamon Desktop' group through yum and rebooted. At the log in screen I selected Cinnamon instead of Gnome and logged in. The screen flickered white/black a few times as a friendly log in sound played. Shortly after, a dialog popped up saying Cinnamon crashed so it was running in fallback mode and it asked if I wanted to restart Cinnamon. I tried clicking Yes, the screen flickered some more and the same dialog reappears. Continuing to click Yes yields the same result. Clicking No leaves a minimal desktop with a taskbar but no menus. An error icon appeared in the lower corner which allowed me to submit this report.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
