It looks like Mate is hard-coded to use it's own terminal, at least
from the menus, but you should have no trouble launching gnome
-terminal, either from a shortcut or from an existing terminal. Do you
get any errors?

You might also try removing the mate terminal and setting gnome
-terminal as the default.

Anyway, I thought the mate terminal was just a fork of the gnome one,
so if it can't repaint it's probably a bug.
