Please reopen this bug again.

As mentioned in my previous post,
/<email address hidden>/applet.js
reverted to the old version after some updates and 'Clutter-CRITICAL' messages appeared again. I had to replace 'applet.js' with the 'new' version once more.
Something must have changed in Cinnamon and now normally there are no 'Clutter-CRITICAL' messages but occasionally the problem is triggered again and 'Clutter-CRITICAL' messages fill '.xsession-errors' even after stopping the audio player application (audacious). When this happens the only way to stop it is by exiting Cinnamon and login in again.
Apart from the messages there is also the problem of the disappearing audio player's icon, mentioned above. Here are some relevant '.xsession-errors' messages: {
      JS LOG: About to start Cinnamon
Window manager warning: Trying to remove non-existent custom keybinding "magnifier-zoom-in".
Window manager warning: Trying to remove non-existent custom keybinding "magnifier-zoom-out".
      JS LOG: Cinnamon started at Fri Sep 05 2014 08:52:56 GMT+0200 (CEST)
    JS ERROR: !!! WARNING: 'anonymous function does not always return a value'
    JS ERROR: !!! WARNING: file '/<email address hidden>/applet.js' line 1010 exception 0 number 157
      JS LOG: network applet: Cannot find connection for active (or connection cannot be read)
      JS LOG: network applet: Found connection for active
}

Somebody should pay attention to '.xsession-errors' messages (not only 'Clutter-CRITICAL', there are a lot of 'Window manager warning') when testing Cinnamon. It can not be good to waste system resources by writing meaningless messages continuously. I wonder how it must affect battery life and performance of laptops.
