Bug description
Cinnamon Crashes.
Steps to reproduce
The Cinnamon desktop will crash when all of the following conditions are true:
A: The second monitor is unplugged from the VGA port
B: Cinnamon is reloaded
C: There is a panel on the second display
On a side note, the panel on the second display does not appear until cinnamon is reloaded. When there is no panel, the cable can be removed without cinnamon crashing.
Expected behavior
It should not have to crash.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash on Mint 22 Cinnamon 6.2.9 with Intel 4th Gen integrated graphics, using two displays and a panel on the second display, then unplug the second display after reloading Cinnamon. Capture the crash output and compare the behavior with and without the second-display panel. Done means disconnecting that display no longer crashes Cinnamon under the reported conditions.
