How about also waiting for the next Ubuntu 12.04 fix, as mentioned by the same commentator quoted here in the related LXer thread Why? ??

The issue is using a developmental version of a distro. This makes things unstable in general. Mint has not released the corresponding version so that is moot. If you run 11.10 or the last Mint no problems occur even with the latest Cinnamon.
