If you have the xorg-x11-apps RPM installed, on Mate you can right-click
on the panel, select "Add to panel", then scroll down and select "Eyes".
It'll add the eyes to the panel where ever you had right-clicked. You
can move it around if you wish by right-clicking on the eyes icon and
selecting "Move".

Personally, I don't use them. They're sort of, uhm, well, "creepy". :-)

This way, the xeyes process and display is associated with the login and root window (is that the correct term?)  rather than any regular window or process.  The xeyes remain until I log off.  I have a dual monitor system, so I actually launch two xeyes: one on each monitor.  Here are the ".bash_profile" lines I use:

Both xeyes follow the cursor no matter which monitor it's on.  You can launch as few or many xeyes as you want, and put them where ever you want.  Type the command "xeyes ?" for more information on command line parameters and options.
