Backing up and restoring your cinnamon settings (dconf)

From a terminal, run:

dconf dump /org/cinnamon/ > mysettings

save the mysettings file somewhere for later

to reset to defaults:

dconf reset -f /org/cinnamon/

Note, cinnamon may freeze or crash doing this

To restore all your settings:

dconf load /org/cinnamon/ < mysettings

Again, cinnamon may freeze crash after this (recommend at least logging out/back in)
