Bug Description
Currently Ubuntu 14.04 has old MATE-Desktop environment 1.6 release, which contains important bugs and depends on some mate-only libraries, like mate-doc-utils, libmatekeyring, libmatewnck, etc.
Please sync MATE 1.8 packages from Debian testing or unstable - lots of bugs fixed, replaced mate-only libraries with GNOME analogs, fixed a lot of code deprecations, updated translations, etc.
I think there should be no problems with syncing mate 1.8 packages from Debian, because MATE Desktop Environment wasn't included into previous Ubuntu releases.
The main changes in MATE 1.8 are (see http://

Replaced mate-doc-utils with yelp-tools
Replaced libmatekeyring and mate-keyring with libsecret and gnome-keyring
Replaced libmatewnck with libwnck
