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.
