I re-installed Mate and modified the installation as you suggested. After running "startx", followed by "mate-session" in the terminal, I got a number of messages, including the following: mate-session[844]: WARNING: Unable to determine session: Unable to lookup session information for process '844' mate-session[844]: WARNING: Unable to find provider ' ' of required component 'dock' ** (mate-settings-daemon:862): WARNING**: : There was a problem when setting QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.SessionManager.NotInInitialization: Setenv interface is only available during the Initialization phase ** (mate-settings-daemon:862): WARNING**: : There was a problem when setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR=0: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.SessionManager.NotInInitialization: Setenv interface is only available during the Initialization phase This libgtop was compiled on FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p5 amd64 If you see strange problems caused by it, you should recompile libgtop and dependent applications.

I was able to start Mate Terminal, but it was sluggish moving the window. I was able to restart my machine twice from Mate, so that function appears to work. So, what does this all mean and would it be possible to salvage the installation? Thank you. B. M. Jatzeck
