The following is a list of known issues with MATE on Slackware:

Mate-screensaver in /testing doesn't seem to work -- at least, the locking
feature does not seem to work in my testing. I tried it with xscreensaver
disabled and also uninstalled but it never kicked in. More testing is
necessary.

Working to determine whether mate-polkit is necessary. According to upstream,

polkit-gnome, the result of which might be duplicate attempts at polkit
actions when inserting a usb stick, for example. You may want to disable
polkit-gnome and see if polkit-mate works by itself. Also, if you use
mate-power-manager from /extra then you might want to disable the Xfce power
manager if it is listed.

Determine whether mate-polkit is really needed or whether MATE can rely on
polkit-gnome which is installed by default in Slackware. This was discussed
with upstream MATE developer in IRC who thought that mate-polkit was still
