Comment 15 for bug 1468794

I'm fairly happy with my present setup. I rebuilt 3 packages from git, including Caja, but since Caja shares dependencies with (at least) mate-control-panel, I had to build Caja as caja-common (so no Caja per-se) - in other words, its a bit of a mess, but everything is installed and all are working happily together! So checking to see if the current git-fix works is out of the question for me.

I'll probably give Mint 18 a try, seeing as these bugs have been removed. Although I've been waiting for clarification (from the forum(s)) as to why Samba is AWOL in 18 - 'slow boot-time' doesn't cut it, as this is an essential package imo, at least the way I work.

I'm also hoping that Mate has made the move to Gnome3 relatively unscathed - especially since the latest Gnome3 on Fedora 24 is still not as usable as the final version of Gnome2 was/is, what's that, 5 years on! One nice thing about Mate 1.13 is that it now audio-previews Opus-encoded audio files.
