I've got this problem, too. Strangely, this problem goes away when I run cinnamon-settings as root. (Yes, I know that's a horrible idea; don't ask my why I tried it.)

Could not find region module; is the cinnamon-control-center package installed?

Installing librsvg (not lobsvg) fixing it.

Almost seems like one of the svg files for the cinnamon-settings modules is bad (in /usr/lib/cinnamon-settings/data/icons)

Could you try moving them (or maybe all but one) - to see if it's a specific one, or if simply they are all failing for some distro/package reason (I'm guessing you are running Arch?)

Can you test by reverting 32f1f79

[ernestoalejo]

Reverting that commit dind't help. The error was the same. Also I should add the traybar icons & some of the toolbar buttons of nemo are gone too.

Installing librsvg didn't help either.

[mtwebster]

What distro are you running? Doesn't sound like a cinnamon problem if you're having issues with other apps.

[ernestoalejo]

I'm using Fedora. I think it had to do with some kind of corrupt library / dependencies version problems because it affected nautilus and gnome3 dialogs too. Sorry for the noise, I reinstalled everything and it works wells so far.
