I found out (from a poster at Reddit) that changing the 22.3 Menu to the
22.2 Menu is trivial.
Just copy the Menu "applet" (folder) from 22.2 at...
/usr/share/cinnamon/applets
...and save it somewhere.
Then delete the new Menu in 22.3 (same location), paste the old Menu there
and then delete the Menu on 22.3, log out, and login and reinstall the Menu
from the Applets app. You've got the old Menu.
I guess you could also put the old Menu at...
~/.local/share/usr/cinnamon/applets
In my test I put the old Menu in both locations, but that probably was
overkill.
I tried this on a Live USB. I assume it would work the same on a full
install.
