Dear Maintainer,

My `~/.xsession-errors:` (sometimes) gets spammed with the following lines:

```
![1620829855,000,xklavier_evt_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_process_x_event/] 	ATTENTION! Currently cached group 1 is not equal to the current group from the event: 0
![1620829855,000,xklavier_evt_xkb.c:xkl_xkb_process_x_event/] 	ATTENTION! Currently cached group 1 is not equal to the current group from the event: 0

My inxi output currently looks like this:

  ❯ inxi -G -S
  System:    Host: executor Kernel: 5.10.0-10-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6

             OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.3.5

I currently can't reproduce the problem, there are times where the log
file is quiet, but out of the sudden the lines get spammed into .xsession-errors.

I already created an upstream issue
(https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/10083) a while ago, but
it got closed. (I asked the maintainer to re-open the issue, though.)

I need help debugging this issue. I'd be glad for any pointers.
Thank you and thx for maintaining Cinnamon in Debian!

Best,
 - Darsha
