The Cinnamon Nightly Kubuntu Apt Repo PPA is not stable and so the Desktop may manifest some sort of Misbehavior.
The Cinnamon Desktop is an environment based on GTK+ 3. The project originally started as a fork of the GNOME Shell, i.e. a mere graphical shell. Cinnamon was initially developed by (and for) the Linux distribution Linux Mint.
Cinnamon is a Desktop environment which combines a traditional desktop layout with modern graphical effects.
Now with Cinnamon 2.x it has become a Complete Desktop Environment and not merely a frontend for GNOME like GNOME Shell and Unity.
