   I wasn't talking about Cinnamon on top of everything else; I was talking   
   about 'my' Cinnamon on my Mint.   
      
   In this case you don't solve 'secondary DE installing problems' by   
   uninstalling that DE and then installing another different DE.   
      
   This login menu business isn't a 'big' problem, but it also isn't an   
   'ordinary' problem that an ordinary or intermediate experienced user   
   knows how to solve.   
      
   When 'we' started working on this problem in this thread, no one even   
   knew that your situation had been 'compounded' by the KDE Plasma DE   
   install 'on top of' your initial Gnome.   
      
   In my dabbling, I've never had your menu problem/condition, and to the   
   best of my recollection, I've never installed KDE 'over' Gnome.   
   However, I have read about it years ago in the days (more than a decade   
   ago) I was reading psychocats talking about KDE vs Gnome.

   Currently wayland is an 'advance' whose issues haven't yet been solved   
   enough to make it 'mainstream' -- distro/s like Mint stay away from   
   those 'problems' because they have other fish to fry at the present.
