[OpenIndiana-discuss] Mate is here (as well as new test ISOs)

Gary,
The menu option would suffice for a something minimalistic like IceWM 1.3.8 versus MATE.

Is it possible to have both installed but select which one to run?  I
recall that at one time, Solaris 10 offered both CDE and Gnome
desktops.  You could select the one your preferred from the login
screen.  Something similar for OI might be useful.

PS: If there are files that are required by both Mate and Gnome,
you could put them in a desktop common meta-package.
