Hi,

I have installed it (went to /usr/local completely).
After log-out form running gmd, tried to log-in back, but no "GNOME 
MATE" was offered, just GNOME and xterm...

I could verify it with "$ ps -ef| grep usr/local" command which did not 
returned any running process (not from /usr/local at least).

Please advice HOW MATE can be detected by gdm?

REgards.
