Unless I'm more confused than usual, I'm currently running

it denies me the two applets I use most. I normally restrict each
workspace to a single app, and keep 18 spaces open (mostly with eight or
ten in actual use); but the current setup only allows me two workspaces,
causing a clutter.
A few things. First, except for that kwallet issue with (I think) lightdm I have not
had any problems with the various DMs in combination with different Desktops.
If you're having problems getting/finding a DM that works I think it points to a
problem on your system which should be found.
Second, I have an F28 VM running Mate. I just switched to lxdm for a test and I've
no problems to configure 18 workspaces.
Also, eyes in each of four panels are by far the easiest way for
my ancient eyeballs to find the mouse cursor; and the current setup has
no eyes at all, afaict.
You say "four panels". Does this mean you've added 2 additional panels to
the 2
default ones? You've added panels to the sides?
I am also able to select "Add to panel" in Mate and select from the menu
"eyes" and
have "eyes" placed on the panel. Are you saying that selection doesn't
exist for you?
