Fixing Linux Mint Cinnamon Hangs

Every once in a while, my GUI on Linux Mint hangs. The mouse moves, but that's it. Here's the only way I found to get things back up as they were (without losing all of your open windows and applications).

1. Get a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F2 or similar).
2. Kill all cinnamon processes (killall -HUP cinnamon)
3. Go back to your GUI (Ctrl + Alt + F8).

After a few seconds or minutes, you'll get all your stuff back.
