Description:
MATE is barely usable after the latest update. Not completely sure which component is broken, but I suspect the window manager. Main issues:
* Window manager's keyboard shortcuts are all unresponsive
* Window title bars (on top of every windows) are all gone
* Considerable initial delay after first window is opened before it is usable. Delays may occur again during usage.

I have tried reinstalling the version prior to the most recent update but the bug remained. Also tried deleting all MATE related .config files for a clean reinstall, but the same bugs remained. I suspect the package itself has problems.

Additional info:
* Version 1.22.3-1(2019-09-20 update)

Steps to reproduce:
* Install mate group through pacman, start MATE from display manager
This task depends upon

Turns out that the window manager (marco) is somehow not starting at all.

There is no message about marco failing to start, so I am very confused as to why marco would not start when the DE is started.

Very unexpectedly, the problem turned out to be ~/.local/share/applications/marco.desktop

Found upstream issue https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-session-manager/issues/21
