So, let me introduce Mate 1.14. To facilitate installing, I've

Unfortunately, when you have both Gnome 2 and Mate installed, both
of them try to use the same applications, so you'll have interesting
time removing Gnome 2 applications from Mate and vice versa.

Is it possible to have both installed but select which one to run?  I
recall that at one time, Solaris 10 offered both CDE and Gnome
desktops.  You could select the one your preferred from the login
screen.  Something similar for OI might be useful.


Yes, of course.
If you install mate_install meta-package, it will pull in lightdm DM.
If you don't need it and would like to use gdm, you can uninstall mate_install, ligthdm and system/display-manager/lightdm/gtk-greeter .
