Bug Description

On Linux Mint Mate edition 18.2, the mate version is gtk3 only, but the package mate-dock-applet in the repo is gtk2 (0.70-1build1), so it will not work. The latest version, compiled with gtk3 will work nicely.

Please get the gtk3 version into the repo.

Thanx

workaround:
get the latest version from webupd8team ppa (0.79-1~webupd8~xenial1):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/mate
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install mate-dock-applet

and then modify build_gtk2:
  sudo sed -i.bak s/build_gtk2\ =\ True/build_gtk2\ =\ False/g /usr/lib/mate-applets/mate-dock-applet/*.py
