Package "mate-desktop-environment-core"

MATE Desktop Environment (essential components, metapackage)
The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an
intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for
Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

MATE is under active development to add support for new technologies while
preserving a traditional desktop experience.

This package depends on a very basic set of programs that are necessary to
start a MATE desktop environment session. The set of programs includes the
MATE window manager (Marco), the MATE file manager (Caja), the MATE
control center and a limited set of other obligatory MATE desktop components.
