Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. Reproduce the black desktop after login on Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon 6.4.8 and the listed AMD Navi 23 hardware, then compare it with the working Cinnamon on Wayland session; done when the normal Cinnamon desktop renders after login.
