Bug description

Hey.

Just a minor issue.

Sometimes (see #12509) I do have to SIGHUP Cinnamon (from the kernel console) after which a popup window asks me whether I want to restart Cinnamon (where I click yes).

After that, most windows are shifted to the top (some, e.g. maxmised ones, partially outside of the screen).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Switch to the kernel console & log in.
  2. # pgrep -a cinnamon
4726 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cinnamon-session/cinnamon-session-binary --session cinnamon
4907 cinnamon-launcher
4953 cinnamon --replace
5025 cinnamon-killer-daemon
  3. Here I SIGHUP the one with --replace, i.e. kill -HUP 4953
  4. Switch back to X.
  5. Click Yes when Cinnamon asks whether it shall restart.

Expected behavior

Windows should ideally stay in the same position/state as they had when Cinnamon "crashed".
