Yes, that link is mentioned in the first reference. So that depends
on how closely Mate terminal (which I've never seen) follows xterm.
OTOH xprop depends on the X server, I presume.

So, for the present, try the stack method first, then xprop if it
doesn't work. Whether stretch's method is still of interest to you, IDK.

David.
