--- Comment #25 from Wolfgang Ulbrich chat-to-me@raveit.de --- Hi Dan. @ using extra configure flags --enable-startup-notification I talk with Stefano-k (mate dev) today. They use this flags already for their debian package.
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS += --enable-gtk-doc \ --enable-startup-notification \ --enable-introspection
see https://github.com/mate-desktop/debian-packages/blob/master/libmatewnck/debi...
Quote: startup-notification is when an application is starting and you see it on tasklist in a different way
This means if you do not use this flag, mate-desktop going more minimalistic. I prefer to make it more comfortable for a user.
Using --enable-introspection is IHMO also a good choice.
Anyway, your package.......your decision.
