GNOME tweak tool isn't designed for MATE.
Issue 2: Back in the F24 days and even prior to that I filed a bug (1389019) which states that when I boot my laptop on battery and login the power status applet is not displayed in the MATE top menu bar. It does show up when I plug the AC cord in. This problem has now gotten worse. The power applet is no longer displayed regardless of what I try. I have had to re-open this bug since it was without it ever being fixed.
I wrote gnome-power-manager a long time ago, and then a old dead branch was forked into mate-power-manager -- my code was incorporated into gnome-settings-daemon and improved upon and further pushed down into the stack. I don't think there is anyone who cares about the long-obsolete mate power management stuff. Basically, MATE is a mostly a fork of old GNOME components, and the developers who wrote the 99% code shipping with MATE are either not working on Linux any more or are working on GNOME. I think over time MATE is going to become harder and harder to maintain. Sorry to be blunt.
