Can icons placed on desktop be in a regular geometric pattern.
I think it tries to do that. But over the years I've had differing 
monitor geometries. Does operator have any control over where next 
icon is placed?
Just curious ;/

But, with MATE, whilst a Debian-mate mailing lists exists, to which 
reference was made, in response to a previous thread involving a query 
about MATE running on Debian, the Debian-mate list appears to have 
posts relating to only bug reports, and, announcements or security 
announcements.
true, not as I would expect.
The question then arises - would it be worthwhile, to start a users 
mailing list, for MATE desktop interface (and applications that are 
part of the MATE environment), to deal with MATE users across 
different platforms?
yes, a Debian mate user list would be quite welcome
So, I wonder about the worthwhileness (?) of setting up a new MATE 
users mailing list.
I do see questions here about other platforms, and Mate, but they kinda 
get lost.
one needs watch daily, or more often.
UbuntuMATE is quite different, they don't use the full suite of Mate 
apps, using odd (to me) substitute...and continues to go their own way.
Most of the Ubuntu derivatives do the same, often loosing functions and 
features in the process.
a more central location for Mate specific Q&A would be welcome
