the ubuntustudio menu relies on the DE actually following the open
desktop standards. Gnome never really has completely and has now moved
away from menus all together, only supporting menus with separately
developed "plugins". It appears mate has changed their menu farther away
from the open desktop standard so the ubuntustudio menu add-on no longer
works. You can check /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/ to make sure
the file studio.menu exists. If so ubuntustudio-menu is correctly
installed and the bug is with the DE.

If the problem is with the DE, there should be a file in /etc/xdg/menus/ with a 
.menu extension. (gnome-applications.menu for example) if there is such a menu 
there the line to look for is:
DefaultMergeDirs/
(with less than and greater than symbols around it) and the ubuntustudio menu 
should work. (it will work better if that line is almost the last line before 
the last /menu line but many DEs get this wrong and are not willing to fix this 
bug) However if there is no .menu file there, then Mate has decided they do not 
care about the open desktop standard and there is little ubuntustudio can do. 
This would be a Mate bug.
