I'm still referring to the GTK3 branch.

Also, have you considered incorporating NUMJOBS for make in your scripts to speed up compilation? I've been manually editing the SlackBuilds in order to match my processor count. Thank you for your great work as always!

It's working fine now based from your latest version (not including what you are doing now). So, I would leave it be I would think.

AH! MAKEFLAGS!!!! *facepalm* I used every single option, but that. Ha, ha. Will do.

Compositing is looking very nice too. Looks like the MATE team has been putting in a lot of work with details.

Oh, do you mind sharing those? Other than the problems that I had earlier, I haven't ran into anything else yet.

You can check their GTK3 tracking report for each component in their github repository
eg:
for caja: https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/482
for mate-control-center: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate...ter/issues/206

But some of them were found on newer GTK+3 than what we had in Slackware 14.2 so some does not apply to us

Oh, okay. Thankfully, this gtk3 version seems to be pretty stable. Thanks for the link.
