Issue
Strange xlet (Desklet, Applet and Extension) behavior after resume from standby.
Since the upgrade to Mint 21, users of my desklets experiencing issues after standby. I can reproduce them on my machine.
It seems that the CSS rules of stylesheet.css of the respective xlet are not applied anymore after standby. A Cinnamon restart is needed to get rid of the issues.
Examples:
- diskspace@schorschii has always wrong text alignment after standby
- transparent-panels@germanfr: not transparent anymore after standby
- sometimes, my entire taskbar does not show any text after standby:

Steps to reproduce
- send system to standby
- resume system from standby
- login
- see the various issues
Expected behaviour
no graphic issues, as it was in Mint 20.x

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported sequence: standby, resume, and login, using Cinnamon 5.4.12 on Mint 21 with the stated NVIDIA driver. Compare the affected xlets' stylesheet.css behavior before and after resume, including diskspace@schorschii and transparent-panels@germanfr. Done means the desklets, panels, and taskbar retain their expected styling after resume without restarting Cinnamon.
