Description-en: Cinnamon Session Manager - Minimal runtime
The Cinnamon Session Manager is in charge of starting the core components
of the Cinnamon desktop, and applications that should be launched at
login time. It also features a way to save and restore currently
running applications.
.
This package contains the binaries for the Cinnamon Session Manager, but
no startup scripts. It is meant for those willing to start
cinnamon-session by hand with the components of their choice, and for
applications such as MDM that use cinnamon-session internally.
