Uh.. Yeah! It isn't obvious because there are no config files. Surprise!
Cinnamon uses dconf, Which if I understand correctly puts database files
in $HOME/.config/dconf/ that store settings for various programs, like
Cinnamon. Maybe a fun project would be hacking this file directly....
However, if you want to bypass the standard configuration GUI I
recommend the dconf-editor program. In Debian that's:
apt-get install dconf-editor
I would guess BSD has it.
Have Fun!
