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

|
If you are encountering problems with Caja (MATE's file manager) opening
|
|
directories when clicking on files in certain programs like Dropbox, Skype,
|
|
and others, the problem is that xdg-open (part of Slackware's xdg-utils
|
|
package) does not recognize the MATE desktop and therefore defaults to opening
|
|
the directories in Firefox. Fixes for this have been committed to xdg-utils
|
|
package, but we must set the xdg-mime entries manually.
|
|
|
|
As your regular user, first back up the following file:
|
|
$HOME/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and then enter the next two
|
|
commands in a terminal to set the default handler:
|
|
|
|
xdg-mime default caja-folder-handler.desktop inode/directory
|
|
xdg-mime default caja-folder-handler.desktop application/x-directory
|
|
|
|
You should be all set. Thanks to Totoro-kun and T3slider for reporting and
|
|
discussing this in the LQ forums and also thanks to Giorgos Keramidas for
|
|
creating the initial patch. Here is a link to the LQ thread which also has a
|
|
link to Giorgos's blog with the patch:

If you have dual monitor with NVidia card and set it up to use both monitors
|
|
as separate, you might encounter some freeze lockup. A temporary workaround
|
|
is to change it into TwinView in your xorg.conf

|
If you run into strange panel issues, or missing icons, or theme problems,
|
|
please consider backing up or clearing out some of the hidden directories in
|
|
your $HOME, like $HOME/.config and $HOME/.cache and $HOME/.local. If you
|
|
switch back and forth between different desktop environments, sometimes those
|
|
settings can get polluted.

Help menus and help buttons do not work -- this is a known issue per a MATE
|
|
upstream developer and scheduled to be fixed at some point but not in the next
|
|
release (1.6).

Working to determine whether mate-polkit is necessary. According to upstream,
|
|
it is, although it results in duplicative polkit actions when a USB stick is
|
|
inserted, for example. Disabling polkit-gnome in the "Startup Applications"
|
|
is a workaround until more testing is done.
