Adding these two files is one possible solution:
/usr/share/xsessions/mate-bluetile-session.desktop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=MATE + Bluetile
Comment=Tiling window manager
Exec=mate-bluetile-session
Icon=bluetile.png
Type=XSession
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/usr/bin/mate-bluetile-session
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/bin/bash
mateconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/caja/preferences/show_desktop False
mateconftool-2 --type string \
--set /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager bluetile
exec /usr/bin/mate-session
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although, this /usr/bin/mate-bluetile-session is kinda ugly because you cannot
go back to the standard Mate window manager -- marco -- by choosing the plain
MATE option from the gdm session list.
Moving to rawhide - will consider this for F19. Also, Gnome 3.8 is dropping fallback mode: http://lwn.net/Articles/523774/ I switched xmonad-gnome to mate in rawhide. Will do same for bluetile soon. Bluetile should now be using mate in rawhide now - not tested it yet. Need to backport to F19. Should be working now in rawhide (master) bluetile-0.6-15.fc20. Thanks! I rebuilt the src rpm on F19 and it appears to be working fine. I see one minor problems, though: the xsession file still has "gnome" in the filename: /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-bluetile-session.desktop This makes the gdm session selection look funny; my list contains ... GNOME MATE + Bluetile GNOME Classic i3 Icewm MATE ... The "MATE + Bluetile" entry should probably down by the plain "MATE" entry. (In reply to comment #7) > I rebuilt the src rpm on F19 and it appears to be working fine. Thanks for testing - it will be backported to F19 "soon" but I am planning larger package backporting which needs more work/time alas. Anyway I think before Beta in some form. > I see one minor problems, though: the xsession file still has "gnome" in the > filename: > /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-bluetile-session.desktop Ah good catch - I had overlooked that. I have wondered about changing the session name sometimes, even before this. Maybe "Bluetile MATE" would be more appropriate perhaps. Anyway I will fix this. Ok, I renamed mate-bluetile-session to bluetile-mate-session in bluetile-0.6-16.fc20. Haven't actually tested it yet but I think it should work. bluetile-0.6-16.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/bluetile-0.6-16.fc19 Package bluetile-0.6-16.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing bluetile-0.6-16.fc19' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-8824/bluetile-0.6-16.fc19 then log in and leave karma (feedback). bluetile-0.6-16.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository.
