Hi Norbert,

This is a wheezy-backports only bug. I Cc: the debian-backports ML  
with this mail.

After I have uploaded all necessary bugfixes to Debian unstable (+  
received unblock conformations) I will go through all MATE packages in  
wheezy-backports and bring them up-to-date. However, this may take a  
little while, because getting MATE fixed in Debian testing currently  
has my priority.

Greets,
Mike
