Yes, that did the trick. Thanks, again!

probably you're right. I did find some more 1.12 stuff lurking in dark
corners, removed those and reinstalled to no obvious benefit, but after
a while all the desktop bits reappeared.

don't seem to have .config/mate or .config/mate_old.

but after doing some more work getting rid of 1.12 files and replacing
them with the 1.10 ones, more stuff is working... i.e., all the desktop
stuff reappeared as if by magic while I was looking at something else.

There is one minor nit left, perhaps you can suggest a solution:
the right-click menu on the desktop wallpaper used to have an entry for
"open in terminal" but it now doesn't. Any idea how to re-add it?

thanks!

[CentOS] MATE question

2016-01-08 Thread Fred Smith 
I know I should go to EPEL with this, but thought to ask here in case
anyone else uses Mate and may know more about it than I do.

I had installed the MATE 1.12 packages from epel testing a few days ago,
but since that did not include some of the devel packages, I just removed
it and reinstalled all the MATE 1.10 packages from epel-7.

they all installed fine, but now my desktop has a background, and top
and bottom panels and nothing else. right-click on the desktop produces
no context menu.

Anyone know what I've missed (or messed) ?

thanks!

add caja to startup applications if desktop icons are missing

It might be an issue with a version mismatch of configuration files
and settings.

I'd log out of the graphical environment, switch to a text console (or
boot to a non-graphical systemd target) and attempt to reset the MATE
settings for your user.

mv ~/.config/mate ~/.config/mate_old
