How can I run MATE by default

How can I run MATE by default

Postby eMan on Sun Feb 19, 2012 2:32 am

Hi there
I install mint and only could say it is gorgeous. Great job ;)
So is there any option or configuration to run MATE by default. I set it on automatic log-in and it goes to Gnome shell every time. How can I change default Environment to MATE?

If you logout, and then login in MATE and reboot doesn't MATE start by default?

@ xpander: We don't use LDM (LTSP Display Manager). LightDM is the login screen used by Mint 12.
