Yes, I agree.  There is possibly a remnant from older MATE in your
configuration that is no longer supported or valid in recent MATE 1.28.

If that's the case then there are few possible options:

- it is a bug in MATE, so it should be reported upstream,
- there is some (official) upgrade path from older MATE and we didn't
  follow that,
- MATE does not support upgrades between versions without the user's
  config cleanup.

Either way, this should be analyzed deeper and root caused.
