Package: mate-desktop-environment Version: 1.8.0+2~bpo70+1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, thank you, good job! ;o)Maybe useful if mate-desktop-environment requires a display manager (gdm/lightdm) so it can be enjoyed with no additional effort :)Regards G.
a desktop shell can also be used via remote desktop solutions like X2Go or VNC.
Pulling in a display manager with the complete Xorg stack is a slight overkill for those use cases.
To get into the delight of MATE, install one of the Debian desktop CDs (any of those have a DM installed) and then co-install MATE.
If you want to make MATE the default session manager, run this command as root once:
update-alternatives --config x-session-manager Select the number "mate-session" and be happy for the time being...
