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~
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team
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/
