The appended patch series appended for review adds
an almost feature-complete Mate Desktop, including
a mate-desktop-service.

There are persistent problems with mate-screensaver,
if you use the locking function you will be locked
out and can't log back in. I'm happy for any help
with this, I think it's a worthy addition to have.
I had some elogind specific changes in the package
but it didn't help, even when the right binary in
libexec was setuid'ed.

I've been using these patches since the first Mate
patches were merged into our master.
The only change I didn't test was the removal of
the screensaver from the desktop service, but it
should just work (updates are building here right
now).

I should probably add the two links to upstream
wishlist-bugs that I filed.
