Bug Description
The ubuntu-mate-welcome ships /etc/skel/
It's not usual for packages to ship things in /etc/skel, and it's making it more difficult for sysadmins to handle it.
A more proper way to do it would be to ship it in /etc/xdg/
to have OnlyShowIn=MATE; in it,
and to also have a gsettings key that can control if it's enabled or not, for example this is from orca-autostart.
AutostartCondit
Then the "[x] Open Welcome when I log on" check box can toggle that gsetting, instead of removing ~/.config/
and sysadmins can use gsettings overrides to enable or disable it globally etc as it's the normal for such settings.
