In t7, after installing mate-session-1.6.1-alt1_3 , /etc/X11/wmsession.d/02Mate becomes the preferred (default) session started by "runwm default", but it is not usable, probably due to:

янв 20 14:11:07 ovicaa.localdomain mate-session[4911]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'caja' of required component 'filemanager'
янв 20 14:11:07 ovicaa.localdomain mate-session[4911]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'marco' of required component 'windowmanager'

(Actually, I didn't want to install mate-session and make it the default one. It was a consequence of installing mate-document-viewer. I use Simply Linux with Xfce. Workaround: install atril-gtk instead of mate-document-viewer.)

BTW, xfce4-session does require the corresponding window manager, perhaps, mate-session should require its WM, too:

# rpm -q xfce4-session --requires | fgrep wm
wm-common-freedesktop  
/etc/X11/wmsession.d  
xfwm4  
#

Симптом актуален и в Сизифе: mate-session 1.28.0 по-прежнему не требует ни marco, ни caja (проверена цепочка зависимостей mate-control-center/mate-desktop/mate-panel), в отличие от, например, xfce4-session с его требованием xfwm4. Переношу с неподдерживаемой ветки p7 на Sisyphus.

Проверка актуальности: актуально (подтверждено 2026-09-06). В mate-session 1.28.0-alt1 зависимостей на marco и caja по-прежнему нет, в отличие от xfce4-session, который требует xfwm4.
