[Slackbuilds-users] mate-terminal

[George Vlahavas]

Hi,

mate-terminal doesn't really need mate-desktop. Only just some glib schemas
that are bundled with the mate-desktop package. To have mate-terminal
working without mate-desktop, just include the attached file in the
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas directory of the mate-terminal package.
