We had the same issue with some systems after the Almalinux 8.4 > 8.5 update.
Solved by switching to Gnome then back to MATE.

I use Mate from the stenstorp/MATE repo and it's been working fine until last
night's update.
I use the same Mate copr repo, and I didn't encounter any issues on either my bare
metal CentOS 8.5 install (after the 8.4->8.5 upgrade), or on a VM that runs a
similar installation.
The only difference in my case is that I use lightdm from the stenstorp/lightdm
copr repo instead of GDM.
