OK. Got a little further -- helps to read the man pages, once in awhile. :P

Anyway, I'm now using the following in my .xinitrc file

exec cinnamon-session --debug

For some reason, I'm unable to redirect the output, so I had to
search /var/messages for it. Here's the (relevant) ERROR output:

Sorry if the log messages wrap. I can create an attachment, if that helps.

So the *real* question now becomes; how do I create the session file?

Thanks!
