Yes, I spent all night coming up with that :). Anyway, you gave me an idea when you mentioned "term". I had been fussing with the panel trying to create my own Mate terminal. In Properties, putting exactly what is in the real one resulted in the same behavior, a box opening on the bottom panel for about 6 seconds saying "Starting Mate...". But then no terminal. I then tried calling a script which exported DISPLAY, and then calling mate-terminal. No good (an strace showed that this was never going to work). I should probably add that output to my bug. I had already installed xterm (starting with Fedora 21 you have to yum install everything now). I changed it to xterm, fully expecting it to fail just like these others. No, it didn't! I now have an xterm on the panel, and can make others. I might actually put this on all my systems (yeah, I really like command lines). So, a gold star for you!
