Pretty sure that this means that yum is making a call to systemd to prevent shutdowns, and reboots from happening while the transaction is taking place.

It should work after you've installed the MATE Desktop group.

        Now I'm on #2. It seems to have done fine, but I did notice one
oddity:

        What does that second line mean? And should I placate it by
rebooting soonest?

        Second PS: I had enough bits and pieces to get a mate panel
started yesterday, and pretty well filled out -- but when I got back to
the machine today, that panel didn't show up. Then I got :

[btth@localhost ~]$ mate-panel
** Message: Could not connect to session manager: Could not get owner of
name 'org.mate.SessionManager': no such name

** (mate-panel:9175): WARNING **: Could not connect to session manager:
Could not get owner of name 'org.mate.SessionManager': no such name
^C
[btth@localhost ~]$t

        What is this "session manager"? Will it be there now?
