Worth a try. If you start the application from the command
line anyway, just prefix the environment assignment like
so:

  DISPLAY=:0 <your-application>

This should work.

The interesting question now is: why is Mate misbehaving
(or rather: the environment the shell whithin that inherits).

But that doesn't have anything to do with your app.
