Hello,

Just to say that, after a little year, I gave an other try to Mate 1.28
and it went up with fewer pain than the last one and all appears now
properly set.

> 1) Mate is much lighter, eg tcl/tk software go up like a twist;
Confirming this point.

2) Screens:

About managing the screens I reduced my xorg.conf to few lines as
possible, by taking up only the first monitor and giving a wave ride to 

Option "AutoAddDevices"  "on"
Option "AutoAddGPU"      "on"

that did the rest, taking all the screens up and leaving the rest 
to System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Screens for me (where you can
select to disable one screen or the other, set the usual position of
screens, set the prefered resolution and mirror the screens or not.

I attach my reduced xorg.conf for your convinience (remember to replace
BUS ID with your real one)

> 3) the software that accompaign Mate is few or doesnt run, eg the
> power management utility doesnt function
It sounds that you need to start the messagebus like per installation
instructions, but it is not essential.

> 4) the context menu by right clicking anywhere on the desktop has no
> application menu
This really have no solution for now.


About Caja it seems all OK to me, now.
