       The mate-wm program starts the window manager configured by the user. If the user has not chosen a window
       manager it will launch a MATE compliant window manager.

mate-wm uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured
       window manager.

       mate-wm - Start the window manager configured by the user

       The following options are supported:

       --default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER
              Define the default window manager to  start  if  no  window  manager  is  configured,  or  if  the
              configured window manager cannot be found.

       --sm-client-id=ID
              Specify the session management ID when connecting to the session manager.

MATE Desktop Environment                        11 February 2014                                      MATE-WM(1)

mate-wm[--default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER][--sm-client-id=ID]

       The   user   can  define  his  preferred  window  manager  with  the  /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager dconf key. The value of this key should be the name of the desktop file  of  the
       desired  window manager, without its .desktop extension. If this key is set to mate-wm, then mate-wm will
       simply look for an appropriate window manager. The user can also  override  the  selection  of  a  window
       manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable.

       If  the  --default-wm  option  is  used,  mate-wm  will  use  WINDOWMANAGER  as  window  manager  if  the
       WINDOW_MANAGER  environment  variable  is  not  set  and   if   the   /org/mate/desktop/session/required-components/windowmanager dconf key does not define a specific window manager, or if the configured window
       manager cannot be found.

       The  --sm-client-id  option is translated to an appropriate option depending on which window manager will
       be started.
