Bug Description

Qianta 17 64-bit MATE
3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps:
1. Install gnome-session-fallback
// I'm using it for a XMonad Session
2. Try to install indicator-applet-complete through apt-get

Result:
It will fail with
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/indicator-applet-complete_12.10.2+14.04.20140403-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-applet-complete', which is also in package mate-indicator-applet 1.8.0-0+qiana

Expected result:
a. Get a conflict clause maybe with "apt-cache show" in either package (specially mate-indicator-applet)
b. If mate-indicator-applet has an instance of indicator-applet-complete, this should be a shared resource and be shown in gnome-panel's "Add To Panel..." dialog.

Why is important:
Network Manager's nm-applet won't show in Indicator Area of Gnome Panel.
Neither Pidgin, Thunderbird, and some others tray icons.

It is known that MATE and Gnome(3) Classic are mutual exclusive?
Or it only affects this package?
