This is not an answer to your question, but, rather, something that 
arises, because of your question.

You have posted to this list, a number of different queries, relating to 
the MATE interface.

This also happens on the Ubuntu users list.

A"flavour" of Ubuntu, exists, named UbuntuMATE (or, however a person 
wants to write the name), in addition to the other flavours;Lubuntu, 
Xubuntu,Kubuntu, etc.

With Debian, different flavours, also exist, from memory.

But, with MATE, whilst a Debian-mate mailing lists exists, to which 
reference was made, in response to a previous thread involving a query 
about MATE running on Debian, the Debian-mate list appears to have posts 
relating to only bug reports, and, announcements or security announcements.

I think that MATE also runs as a desktop environment, on dragonflyBSD 
(if not the other BSD distributions, also).

But, whilst (independently operated and administered) users mailing 
lists exist, for Thunderbird (two separate users lists), Firefox, and 
Seamonkey, no users list appears to exist for either UbuntuMATE, or, 
MATE running on Debian, or, for the MATE desktop environment (if that is 
the correct term), across the different platforms.

The question then arises - would it be worthwhile, to start a users 
mailing list, for MATE desktop interface (and applications that are part 
of the MATE environment), to deal with MATE users across different 
platforms?

I think that MATE also runs as a desktop environment, on dragonflyBSD 
(if not the other BSD distributions, also).

So, I wonder about the worthwhileness (?) of setting up a new MATE users 
mailing list.
