Versions newer than 1.20 don't build on 7. Or, rather, they build but
don't result in a stable system.

A newer gcc might work, but I've never tried that as I also moved on to 8.

Rocky, that is.

I believe there is a Developer Toolset-9 available for C7. Do you remember what
you used?

On another note, the version that is available for C7, Mate 1.16.2, does not
save all sessions when it crashes, nor does it save positions or session order
arrangement on the bar. This means that every time the computer is restarted you
have to spend time arranging your desktop working environment... I have not
found any utility to do this for me either.

Quite annoying, particularly since I remember that even OS/2 saved the desktop
perfectly upon shutdown.

Does Mate 1.20 do better in this regards?
