@3demaxAlright, I think I fixed the font size issue. I was able to reproduce the bug, and it seems to have been fixed for me. Just a silly garbage collection issue I should have caught.Can you confirm that it's fixed for you?Looking at this code again after half a year or so, I've come to realize something: it's godawful.
MATE desktop is one of the Linux Mint project. It’s a fork of Gnome 2, provides classic gnome style user interface for people feel uncomfortable with Gnome 3 gome-shell desktop.
Recently, Mate released the latest version 1.2.

MATE is a fork of Gnome 2.It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop to Linux users using traditional metaphors.
The name “MATE” comes from yerba maté, a species of holly native to subtropical South America.
First I want to say kudos to Fedora for including MATE in F18, along with a shout out to the MATE developers who made it possible.
I've been testing extensively and it's running great for me. Everything from MythTV to Gimp 2.8.2 is working fine. The DE feels snappy and I'm more certainly more productive. It's like an old friend has returned from banishment.
How can i move the Ubuntu 12.10 top panel to bottom, after installing MATE 1.4? and other question is how can i get Start Menu like MATE?
Like this but on Ubuntu 12 after installing MATE 1.4:

Is it even possible?
P.S. The top panel is to be removed and intuitive start menu like that.
I just installed Mate on top of Ubuntu by the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu oneiric main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-archive-keyring
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-core
sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment
Which caused no problems, but many things (window theme, Mint menu, ...) are missing
Recently i decided to try MATE. I had XFCE installed. So I ran:
Code:
yum install @mate-desktop
I did not like it. Anyway, I though
Code:
yum remove @mate-desktop
would uninstall JUST mate. But I realized mate and xfce share some dependencies. My desktop crashed.
I need help for uninstall MATE from any way and keep XFCE.
Unity is the default desktop environment in Ubuntu 12.10. Although, it has improved a lot but if you’re still looking for an alternative desktop with classic GNOME 2 style layout then you may try MATE.
MATE is also a GNOME 3 based desktop (just like unity), it’s easy to use, and the it’s stable too.
Hello everybody ,
I am really glad to see that MATE is included in fc18 future plans.
I just installed Alpha version but I cannot find a way to install mate. I installed all the mate-* packages but still no option for MATE.
Is MATE included in the Alpha version?
