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?

I have not found any utility to do this for me either.I use Mate, currently on C8 but previously on C7 and I've never had this problem. I just have a single panel bar at the bottom (like Gnome version 1) and arrange it to suit me and it stays the way I want it between sessions. Every time I log in I see the same panel bar that I saw the last time I logged in. Is this the problem you're having? If so you might want to use dconf-editor to lock the panel bar and see if that solves it. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

I think, it is better, then 1.16, but I didn?t find a huge difference in use, maybe it more responsive, and look likes better ? --Fonya -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

That is one of the reasons I am interested in a version later than 1.16 which has lots of issues on such a laptop display? - You say it is better (apart from freezing your display which is not good), how so? - Did you download Mate 1.20? If so, from where? - Or, did you compile it yourself? Thanks!
