Why did it need to be ported at all? Shouldn't it "just work"?

  Mate had to change all “Gnome” strings to “Mate” so both could be packaged/installed in parallel and probably also for legal reasons. This means all DBus interfaces need to use the new name, a nautilus plugin must now call caja functions instead and so on.

    ...huh, well that's frustrating! Could this be solved with a basic compatibility layer?

      or decompile, touch strings, then recompile.
