Description: Library with common API for various MATE modules
The MATE component mate-desktop contains the libmate-desktop library, the
mate-about program, as well as some desktop-wide documents.
.
The libmate-desktop library provides an API shared by several applications
on the desktop, but that cannot live in the platform for various
reasons.
.
The mate-about program helps with finding which version of MATE is installed.
.
NOTE: This package does not install the complete MATE desktop environment
for you. The full desktop environment can be installed via the metapackage
mate-desktop-environment.
