I do not know how to deal with that.

When I try to investigate the functionality of the Appearance utility
(or otherwise named application classification) from the System ->
Control Center menu, I get

"
Unable to start the settings manager 'mate-settings-daemon'.
Without the MATE settings manager running, some preferences may not
take effect. This could indicate a problem with DBus, or a non-MATE
(e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with
the MATE settings manager.
"

I have not wittingly launched any other settings manager, and I am not
aware of any other settings manager, running.
