It's just to keep things in line, it looks weird with one extra item.

Ok, at least installing the codecs and totem and vlc works via mintwelcome.

Though I'm not sure why Release Notes button is not shown in mintwelcome while the codecs aren't installed... it only shows up after you install the codecs and restart mintwelcome.

mintdesktop was cleaned up and I'll replace gsm with msm in the next ISO.

We used to ship msm in GTK2 and it featured a visual bug with the GTK notebook it was using. GSM worked fine despite using a headerbar.

With GTK3 the visual issue is gone. We also ship with MSM in Mint so...

In regards to the little bit of magic in DSA, it's no harm and it makes it possible for MATE to use GSM when MSM isn't installed. I'll leave it there for now.

I'm rejecting this ISO and building a new one with the changes we mentioned.

Codecs are no longer part of the default installation, that's ok yes.

Wow, trying to install it triggers a heap of packages...

So, it means that flashplugin and vlc aren't installed by default. Is that ok?

Only now I noticed that mint-meta-debian-codecs package isn't installed. Is that ok?

Well, we don't have Compiz in LMDE, but there's "MATE Panel Compiz" item in autostart apps. It's /usr/bin/mate-panel-compiz-restart script from mintdesktop package. Most part of that script is commented out, so I guess it can be just dropped from the package.

This issue is still present in this ISO:

Ok... now mate-system-monitor isn't installed, there's gnome-system-monitor in its place.

There's also some magic in debian-system-adjustments to make g-s-m work in MATE.

I suggest fixing all that...

I don't know why it's so, but it looks weird. Especially when mint-artwork-mate package has an image with Mint branding for m-s-m (in /usr/share/pixmaps/mate-system-monitor/distribution/side.png).
