I use Xfce so this may not apply, but have you saved your session?
I'm not sure about Mate, but IIRC, by default session info isn't saved
under Xfce unless you go into "Applications->Settings->Session and
Startup" and tick the "Save Session on Logout" box in the
"General" tab
and either log out or go to the "Session" tab and click the "Save
Session" button (which I generally do any time I change stuff here).
Mate has that also. Typically I leave it set to not automatically
save. Then when I want to change my starting session I set things
up the way I like, turn the setting on and logout. Next login,
(i.e. immediately) I turn it off again.
I've saved a session with the keys functioning but it had no effect
on them next login, they were off.
