I tried all of this in a terminal and got :0.0 for the DISPLAY value.
So I exported DISPLAY=:0.0 then ran xclip and xclip errored out because
it couldn't find DISPLAY :0.0.

as near as I can tell, echo does not work when used after alt-f2 in a
text command.
Just tried, for me it works (in KDE).
I don't use mate but if it is like gnome:
From:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
"Alt+F2 allows entering a command to launch an application."
So from now on could you enter the commands in a terminal?
There is no need to redirect the output of 'echo $DISPLAY' to a file.
I also found out it's
necessary to use touch to create a file first before anything can be
sent to that file.
That is absolutely not normal.
As Paul said, something is very rong here.
