Please consider unblocking of planned upload of package mate-netbook.

+  [ Martin Wimpress ]
+  * debian/patches:
+    + Add 0001_respect_undecorate_setting.patch. Ensure mate-maximus
+      undecorates maximized windows only when the "undecorate" dconf
+      option is set. (Closes: #778816).

Once mate-netbook is installed most applications loose their window
decorations when maximized (expected behabiour of mate-maximus inside the
mate-netbook package). In dconf there is a setting that allows one to
disable this "undecorate" behaviour (i.e. make windows behave normally
(desktop-like) again when maximized.

However, this "undecorate" option in dconf has no effect for users
attempting to disable the undecorate feature, window decorations stay
lost until mate-netbook gets uninstalled. Impossible to configure
mate-maximus on a per-user basis or with a system-wide override file.

With the provided patch in the attached .debdiff, this issue is fixed.

While the patch is minimal, the bug is only of normal severity, and we are at the point where only (or mostly) RC bug fixes go through. So I'm unsure about letting this through. Can you argue why this is actually more important, or why we should make an exception for it?
