Does this Desktop work for anyone else without gnome3 installed? What am I leaving out? Am I suppose run some sort of X configuration program?
I've done this a few times now, and it's worked every time:
Install the Centos 7 Live CD.
Install epel-release
Install Mate Desktop
That matches my experience. I can install from the LiveCD with a graphical interface and get KDE and Mate. But I suspect that is because the LiveCD is providing Gnome3. If I use the Minimal install DVD instead then I simply cannot get Mate or KDE to run as desktops without having first installed Gnome3. Neither alternative desktop will work without and both always work with Gnome3 present.
