mate-desktop
The libmate-desktop library provides an API shared by several applications on the desktop, but that cannot live in the platform for various reasons.
The mate-about program helps with finding which version of MATE is installed.
NOTE: This package does not install the complete MATE desktop environment for you. The full desktop environment can be installed via the metapackage mate-desktop-environment.

Essa barra de tarefas do mate desktop é muito precária, icones desproporcionais, alguns applets crasham...
Хороший легковесный рабочий стол. Класического меню нет да и сам по себе какойто не завершенный рабочий стол.
viva mate, the best of the best. super stable. i just cant integrate into another DE. sprung 100%.
Extremly stable, beautyful and handy. MATE is the best choice for computers younger than Win7; for older computers Xfce might be a better choice; i prefer MATE on virtual machines for purposes which cause havy desktop use, cause it's smoother and nicer to the eyes.
I installed this desktop on Mint 17.1 and it didn't even show up in the login manager
Great desktop, works especially well on LMDE when using x2go server for a terminal server.
This doesn't work. I am running cinnamon and installed mate, but there's no selector at the login splash screen, it says installed but it's not doing anything.
Very nice! I prefer Cinnamon a little more but I can see why Gnome 2 was so popular and why people wanted it more than Gnome 3. Kudos to the Mint team for creating and supporting MATE
I convinced an ubuntuer friend of mine who had to migrate to a new LTS (12.04) and was sad to see gnome2 go, when I talked him into trying out MATE, He loved it!
