Richard, which desktop do you prefer, MATE or Cinnamon?
I'm not 'Richard' (But Gaskin is), but I work extensively with Linux,
and for my work
(i.e. at my EFL school) I use the GNOME 'Classic' with Avant Window
Navigator,
and at home, both my wife and I use XFCE 4.10. again with Avant Window
Navigator which we
much prefer over the much vaunted Cairo Dock.
Personally, I think both MATE and Cinnamon do not quite "cut the mustard".
As XFCE 4.10 allows icon ordering on the desktop and so on, MATE and
Cinnamon
don't seem as attractive while we were stuck with XFCE 4.8.

For just the purposes of showing how LiveCode apps can work on Linux,
which one should I use?
For development, obviously Ubuntu simply because it's the largest audience
by far.
But for demo, I would suggest Linux Mint. It's based on Ubuntu and very
easy to use, with a pleasant UI that folks tend to like right off. But
more important for LiveCode is that it doesn't use a global menu bar,
Ubuntu's Launcher, or other Ubuntu-specific things that LiveCode doesn't
support well right now.
