I upgraded OI on one of my systems today.  Everything worked normally,
with one exception.  When I started a mate-terminal, it came up with a
black screen that did not accept commands.  Here is a normal
mate-terminal session on a system that has not  been upgraded:

<mills at ryzen:5046291>$ ptree 2653
847    /usr/sbin/lightdm
  2415   lightdm --session-child 12 24
    2422   mate-session
      2468   mate-panel
        2526   mate-terminal
          2653   -ksh
            23653  ptree 2653

Here is the broken session on the system I just upgraded:

<mills at amd:525>$ ptree 2105
1508   /usr/sbin/lightdm
  1985   lightdm --session-child 14 26
    1992   mate-session
      2041   mate-panel
        2104   /usr/bin/mate-terminal
          2105   ksh

The mate-terminal has not started my shell as a login shell.

That's as far as I've gotten in my investigation so far.
