Since MATE is just a continuation of the gnome2 desktop, besides the
Ayatana (or Ubuntu) Indicators packages I would say that 90+ percent
of it is already in the book for gnome3. But I understand and I just
tossed it out as an idea.
How about adding gnome-flashback to the gnome section? The only other
packages it would require are gnome-common and alacarte.
It won't look as good as MATE but for users that prefer the gnome2
look it will only be half sh!~*}ty compared to gnome3.

I would be interested in this, however a simple glance looks like I need
at least 9 new packages to be added to the gnome section:
- alacarte
- gnome-common
- gnome-panel
- cpupower
- gnome-applets
- metacity
- libgnomekbd
- gnome-screensaver
- gnome-flashback
Am I missing something here? I'm sure some of these are optional, but
similar to XFCE, we probably want the applets, which brings in cpupower
(and that itself has a handful of other stuff that we might need, such
as sysfsutils). gnome-screensaver might be optional, making libgnomekbd
optional, but then we wouldn't have a screensaver and that still is
important to me at least.
