On another note, the version that is available for C7, Mate 1.16.2, does not save all sessions when it crashes, nor does it save positions or session order arrangement on the bar. This means that every time the computer is restarted you have to spend time arranging your desktop working environment... I have not found any utility to do this for me either.

Quite annoying, particularly since I remember that even OS/2 saved the desktop perfectly upon shutdown.

Does Mate 1.20 do better in this regards?
