					echo “cryptswap$i UUID=$uuid /dev/urandom swap,offset=8,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256″ >> /etc/crypttab
				without “offset=8″, a freshly installed Linuxmint finds the cryptswap and then destroys its UUID. On reboot, the UUID is gone and the swap partition cannot be found anymore. The offset should fix that problem.

	cinnamon:
		window preview stuck: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4750
		gnome-system-monitor moves out of the place in Expo
		When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
		hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ...
		hidpi issues:
			Windows previews are nice but they are too small (not sure if this is only on HiDPI) – is there a way to make them bigger?
			Top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
