MATE (marco) calls mintMenu "Buggy client".

[Rene Herman]

Good day,

I noticed today that my .xsession-errors contains a number of instances of:

===
 Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x180005e (mintMenu.p)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.
===

This is on 17.1/MATE fully updated. Don't know when the messages started; just saw it by chance. Currently installed versions:
