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?

Basically, I submitted this issue out of two reasons:
o in a private communication with Niels about open MATE issues he
"encouraged" me to file the unblock request for the above mentioned issue
(I hope I got him right concerning that).
o once mate-netbook is installed, it is not possible to disable
mate-maximus's functionality, although there are switches for it
(namely: the undecorate switch in dconf). mate-netbook also ships
another applet (mate-window-picker-applet), if people want to have that,
but not mate-maximus they face a problem...
The behaviour of mate-maximus should be controllable via gsettings and not via
dpkg (installation / removal of the package).
