Hi,

this series updates MATE to 1.24. I tested it in a VM and it looks quite
good so far.

Known limitations
=================
* Atril is still on 1.22 due to an old version of glib in master.
* I had to propagate glib:bin to the mate "meta" package in order to fix
  this gio-launch-desktop issue. I think this quick fix is okay.

There were some discussions before about this topic on guix-devel:

Nice!  I’ve tested it briefly in a VM and it seems to work fine.  Pushed
the whole series, with ae8e0fbd82ca8406dc55aa1f55c4681331e0d215 as the tip.

I haven’t investigated, but could we set the absolute file name of
gio-launch-desktop “somewhere” so that we don’t have to propagate
glib:bin?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

The "somewhere" is in Glib itself and has been fixed on the
'core-updates' branch.  The alternative for now would be to wrap many of
the executables with glib:bin in PATH, which is a lot of work for little
benefit.

Ah OK, so we’re all good.

Thanks,
