color temperature 'stuck' until applet restart on Mint 17.1 "Rebecca" / cinnamon

As best I can tell, the color temperature gets 'stuck' whenever the screen sleeps (that's the part I'm least sure about, the involvement of sleep) on Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca". Waking the machine yields no change in color temperature until the applet is quit and restarted, then it quickly fades to the correct temperature.

Don't know if this is related, but I'm running 17.1 with cinnamon as well and definitely not getting the right colors. The machine sleeps at a few different points during the day. I have the lat/long set to France and the correct timezone set on the clock, and f.lux set to tungsten (2700k) at night but the applet always says the color is 5000k+ at night. I used f.lux on Windows and the screen was noticeably red, but I'm not finding that at all in Mint.

FWIW, I've switched to gtk-redshift as f.lux on Linux appears to be abandoned.
