MATE 桌面环境 是 GNOME 2 的一个分支,旨在使用传统的方式，为Linux用户提供一个有吸引力的和直观的桌面. 更多信息, 请看 this forum thread.

## 获得

MATE 现在位于 GitHub:

- 基于发布版本编号的的稳定版：http://repo.mate-desktop.org/archlinux/.

## 安装

要通过 pacman 安装稳定版本的 MATE ， 添加下面几行到 `/etc/pacman.conf`:

    [mate]
    Server = http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/archlinux/$arch

运行

    # pacman -Syy

然后

    # pacman -S mate

一些人可能对从mate-extra 组 (大部分是 gnome-extra 组里的包的副本)安装某些包感兴趣:

Note: 目前, MATE 的pacman 仓库里有两个扩展组: mate-extra 和 mate-extras. It is advised to look in both for the needed applications until it gets properly merged/fixed into a single extra group.

    # pacman -S mate-extra

或者

    # pacman -S mate-extras

You are very likely to get file conflicts when installing. Simply rename the offending files or install with the `--force` flag. You will also require dbus.

Note: Currently, many MATE packages do not provide, conflict or replace any GNOME packages.

## 启动

### 手动

为了手动启动 MATE , 需要添加

    exec mate-session

到你的 `~/.xinitrc` 文件,然后运行

    $ startx

注意: xinitrc有详细介绍，例如保持 logind (或 consolekit) 会话等。

### 启动时自动启动

详情请看 Display manager 和 Start X at Login .

### LightDM, GDM & LXDM

直接选择即可，无需特别配置。

#### GDM (旧)

如果你在使用 AUR 中的 gdm-old, 简单的从会话列表中选择 MATE 会话即可. 第一次启动 MATE, 出现提示时确认点击 "只对此会话" .

#### MATE Display Manager

The MATE Display Manager (MDM) is the MATE desktop's counterpart to the GNOME Display Manager (GDM). 它的包 'mate-display-manager' 在 mate-extra 组或者在 AUR 软件包 mate-display-manager. It works relatively the same as GDM does/did.

#### KDM

为了从 KDM 启动MATE, the KDE Display Manager, 需要编辑 KDM 配置. 用 root 用户, 编辑 `/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc` . 找到 SessionsDir 小节,并添加 `/usr/share/xsessions` 到列表. 编辑后应该类似于下面:

    SessionsDirs=/usr/share/config/kdm/sessions,/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions,/usr/share/xsessions

重启 KDM 并从列表中选择 "MATE session".

#### SLIM

Just fallow the SLIM tutorial to know how to install and how to copy and use the .xinitrc file. And just add this line to the .xinitrc file :

    exec mate-session

## 应用程序

### 核心应用程序

It is important to note that many GNOME core applications are rebranded for MATE, as per the licensing terms. Here is a simple Rosetta Stone of GNOME -> MATE applications.

- Nautilus 重命名为 caja
- Metacity 重命名为 marco
- Gconf 重命名为 mate-conf

Other applications and core components prefixed with GNOME (such as GNOME Panel, GNOME Menus etc) have simply had the prefix renamed "MATE" and become MATE Panel and MATE Menus.

### 扩展应用程序

Not all of the GNOME extra applications (built for GTK2) have been forked yet. 下面的扩展应用程序在 MATE 中可用:

- Totem (mate-video-player)
- Eye of GNOME (mate-image-viewer)
- Gedit (mate-text-editor)
- File Roller (mate-file-archiver)
- GNOME Panel applets (mate-applets)
- GNOME Terminal (mate-terminal)

如果你使用 NetworkManager 连接互联网, 可以为 GTK2 nm-applet 从 AUR 安装 network-manager-applet-gtk2. You will need to modify the PKGBUILD to depend on mate-bluetooth rather than gnome-bluetooth to prevent a recursive dependency on gnome-desktop.

## Using Compiz Fusion sans Emerald

If you would like to use Marco with Compiz Fusion, install and start Compiz Fusion as you would normally and install the package gtk-window-decorator and run the following command to create a symlink:

    # ln -s /usr/lib/libmarco-private.so.0 /usr/lib/libmetacity-private.so.0

Enable the Window Decoration plugin in the Compiz Fusion settings manager and use

    gtk-window-decorator --replace

as the command. However, without recompiling gtk-window-decorator, the necessary mateconf keys will not be created and you will be stuck with Cairo based decorations. It may be possible to create these keys yourself.

## 已知问题

### Qt 应用程序不风格化

You may find that Qt4 applications are not inheriting the GTK2 theme like they should. This can be fixed easily by installing libgnomeui with the `--force` flag. If the problem persists, run qtconfig and setting GTK+ as GUI style under System ⇒ Preferences ⇒ QT4 Settings.
