I had Mate before. I am not sure that is what I was left with
after the update. I have set the log in to Gnome Classic, which
may not be what I want, which really is the Mate desk top.

Nothing yet, but I'll load in whatever it takes to get it
customized back to something I find comfortable and useful
for my daily job.
As I noted, perhaps the time has come to leave Ubuntu and
go to Mate. I am wavering first one way and the other,
depending on what features I've managed to get set back to
normal or am screwed up by at the instant.
The big must fix items:
* Critical: lockups on lid closure
* Crucial: restore my launchers to the upper tool bar
* slideshow screensaver running over ~/Pictures/*
The don't like much issues:
* Procedure of mouse to top left corner, sweep to far right edge
to select desktop is slow. And the images only show one
screen. Would prefer getting a lower tool bar desktop selector
back. Speed counts when you are over worked.
And note that you really do have at least one bug in the
backdrop and lock panel. I have thousands of aviation photos
in ~/Pictures and it cannot deal with it, only shows perhaps
one of ten images for backdrop selection.
