I ran into this conflict problem when upgrading machines running
Mate. I found that removing the epel version of libgpod and
installing the one that is currently in base (0.8.2-12.el7) fixed the
upgrade issue. I did a "yum erase", which took out some things
(including rhythmbox) that one might still want. I didn't do a "yum
downgrade" nor have I tried to reinstall rhythmbox, so don't know how
things fare going those routes.

If your "window" issue is what's described at:

<https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2017-August/165955.html>

switching your theme, as indicated, should fix that.

Other than these items I haven't had any problems running Mate on
7.4.1708 - on machines that used @CR and those that didn't.
