18.04 Mate top panel double trouble












1














Ok, been using Gnome in 18.04, but I wanted some of that good old Unity again. So, I installed Mate-desktop. It works ok until it does not work.
Sometimes when I log in, and especially after I log out and log back in I get double everything - two indicators, two menus, and two brisk-menus and two trash bins.
enter image description here
It is a terrible experience. How can this be prevented? I very much would like to use Mate.



Thanks!

          Consider to reset panel settings with





          1. To be completely sure reset permissions on all dot-folders with



            sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.[a-zA-Z]*



          2. Open MATE Terminal and reset MATE Panel settings with dconf by



            dconf reset -f /org/mate/panel/


          3. Open MATE Tweak (mate-tweak) again and select Mutiny layout.



          4. Relaunch MATE Panel with



            killall mate-panel 
            mate-panel --replace &


            or logout and login again.






          Notes:

          1. I tested this method on clean installation of Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 LTS.

          2. You can remove GNOME-related stuff as mentioned in my other answer but it is dangerous.
