MATE is I think built over Gnome and GTK toolsets so terminals that come
with it may need a lot of baggage installed first.

Personally I think MATE is the best of the bunch for my way of working,
which isn't to say its to everyone else's needs.

Bit if you like a vaguely XP-ish appearance and look and feel, sans the
utter crap that comes with Microsoft, MATE provides it.

It looks like if you want MATE the easiest thing is to reinstall with it
