While "session restore 1/2" restored most of the windows, including terminal windows, it (1) failed to distribute them correctly on my four desktops, (2) failed to place them correctly on the desktops, and (3) failed to restore the correct order of window icons on the bottom panel.

I use Mate, currently on C8 but previously on C7 and I've never had this problem. I just have a single panel bar at the bottom (like Gnome version 1) and arrange it to suit me and it stays the way I want it between sessions. Every time I log in I see the same panel bar that I saw the last time I logged in. Is this the problem you're having? If so you might want to use dconf-editor to lock the panel bar and see if that solves it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've had 1.20 running on CentOS7 for a while, based on my own updates to the 1.16 rpms from EPEL. Not so lucky for mate 1.22. Updating my own rpms to 1.22 as well as a rebuild of the Fedora 30 rpms do not create functional rpms.

Hi everyone, There's been discussions in the past about updating MATE RPMs in EPEL-7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1436260 https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2019-August/173154.html (and lots of others...) As a proof-of-concept, I've written some scripts that clone specific commits from the Fedora master branches, and then runs a tool to re-apply RPM scriptlets that are required by EL7 but removed from the Fedora .spec files. The scripts are available at: https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms/tree/master/1.20/el7 There's also instructions there if you want to try upgrading to MATE 1.20 w/o rebuilding them yourself. If these packages work for others, perhaps we can revisit the idea of updating the epel7 branches of the Fedora git repos and submitting an official update. There's nothing here (yet) about building MATE 1.22 (which might require a newer gcc for EL7), or building anything on CentOS 8, but thought the CentOS 7 users might find this helpful. -Greg ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
