Update:
Please also read https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_vera_cinnamon_whatsnew.php


This PR updates Cinnamon to 5.6, which is part of Linux Mint 21.1.

Lots of cosmetic changes!

Cosmetic changes are "design changes" (e.g. what theme, color, etc to use). Those changes are made by Linux Mint and we don't do random modifications, report to upstream if you don't like the changes. For items marked with *, you are only affected if you didn't set the related keys explicitly before and you can go back to old settings by using gsettings.

The following change set are generated from mint-artwork 1.6.5, cinnamon-common 5.6.2, nemo 5.6.0, mint-y-icons 1.6.3, things can still change in follow-up updates.

  • The default cursor theme is now a mint-modified Bibata-Modern-Classic (see this issue), provided by mint-artwork. See change log from mint-artwork (download the *.tar.xz file and go to debian/ folder) for more info. Note that we are removing vanilla-dmz from the module.
  • * The default GTK theme and icon theme is now Mint-Y-Aqua, it is changed by mint-artwork.
  • * Home/trash/network desktop icons are no longer presented on desktop, this is announced in Sep news, still changed by mint-artwork.
  • Nemo no longer highlight selected icons, this is announced in Oct news, changed by linuxmint/nemo@fdd47db.
  • * There is a new cornerbar applet that replaces show-desktop, changed by linuxmint/cinnamon@cd47f9a.
  • The places icon set has been switched to a Papirus based one, now you might see yellow folder icons everywhere, changed by linuxmint/mint-y-icons@7f80462.
  • The Mint-Y-Yellow theme is gone, changed by linuxmint/mint-y-icons@41fcdb3.

If some of your settings are "changed" / "broken" after this update, reconfigure them in the cinnamon-settings app.

@bobby285271 since cinnamon is free software, cache should keep the source and it should be enough to just upgrade to the next version and get the pr merged before they release yet another one

There is no test since 5.4.6, 23ba143 "wacom: Bring in line with
changes in muffin to fix support" removed the wacom-calibrator test.

All gio-unix-2.0 dep seemed to be properly declared. Still builds.
PR 11244 removed some of the hardcode paths:

- We now look for upload-system-info from PATH, but since we don't
"install" cinnamon.xapp, we still fix the path for it.
- We now look for cinnamon-control-center, gnome-control-center from
PATH. For the former, it is installed in the module and it cannot be
removed, so no need to fix the path. For the latter, it is not useful.
- cinnamon-launcher now looks for various fallback panels from PATH,
since they are optional so no need of fixing path.
- All *.desktop and *.service files are generated by Meson with correct
path now.

linuxmint/cinnamon@5.4.12...5.6.2
