   Install mate-session-manager, marco and yuyo-gtk-theme:

   tazpkg -gi mate-session-manager
   tazpkg -gi marco
   tazpkg -gi yuyo-gtk-theme

   Update your applications.conf:

   leafpad ~/.config/slitaz/applications.conf

   Change the last line to:

   WINDOW_MANAGER="mate-session"

   You can also start the mate window manager on start up:

   leafpad /etc/init.d/local.sh

   And create a new line writing marco (MATE's window manager)

   marco

   Now reboot, and your system will look like this.

   Hi, Yuri, sorry but I see just mate-system-monitor running on LXDE:lxpanel+pcmanfm+openbox (instead of caja+marco) on you screenshot, not MATE.

   It may work for you, but testing process includes installation of new packages on default live cd/usb system.

   For example, begin to test only caja.

   You have removed following line, but caja cannot perform 1-st run without this files, so restore this:
   cp -a $install/usr/share/glib-2.0 $fs/usr/share

   Removed mate-desktop from caja DEPENDS but why, it's required, please restore.

   All libtool in DEPENDS should be replaced by libltdl
   for mate-desktop too
   libtool is dev-package, so its place is only in BUILD_DEPENDS

   > marco
   Missing a lot of files in /usr/share. Did you ever tried to use your own packages?

   I'll continue testing next week, and maybe hg push this to wok (if you not).

   @az_ua: Thank you for your reply, I didn't know about libltdl. I made many changes in the packages but I probably uploaded wrong versions of them, I am sorry.

   I think you already did those changes on packages, thank you very much.

   I am very busy these days but I usually try to improve/add some MATE package.

   EDIT: And you are right, wmctrl -m gives me Openbox as window manager.

   Marco only works when I type: marco --replace

   It would be nice to have MATE desktop working on SliTaz... :-) Many other Linux have it.

   As we don't have information about MATE at Slitaz Doc, if you make it work and post a tutorial here (as done at the first post), I could write a new MATE section at Slitaz Doc to help other users. ;-)

   @Genesis: MATE is not exactly supported by Slitaz, I am slowly uploading some mate packages and I don't know what the other devs think about that. MATE is the default desktop in my computers and I like to use Slitaz in my all computers.

   Hope others enjoy it too.
