cinnamon - printers and windowing

I just upgraded to fedora 16 and installed cinnamon to get out fo gnome-hell. I really like it, but have two issues.

a) the "systems-setting" menu (available under USERNAME in gnome) does not appear to be anywhere
in order to install a printer, I needed to switch to gnome and then come back
- am I missing something or can I add this to cinnamon

b) every once in a while and for no particular reason, cinnamon pops my whole desktop into a mode
where it shows multiple (2 to start with, but I made it 4 using "+") desktops swirling around
- this is great as I want 4 desktops and from there I know how to get into the different ones
+ BUT I don't know how I got there, and it sure would be nice to know how I got there
so I can do it when I WANT TO!

Re: cinnamon - printers and windowing

a) "Menu / System Tools / System Settings" is where it is on my installation

b) That will probably be the "Hot Corner" - move the mouse pointer to the top-left of the screen

Thanks for your answers. I don't know how I missed a) but b) was not obvious and works GREAT.
