As much as I was tempted to try Mate, I decided using Gnome might be 
better in the long run. Using Gnome 3 "classic" with a "startx" start 
which has issues in terms of everything working right as opposed to gdm, 
but, well, this is what I wanted to do. I just wish Gnome 3.28 was more 
configurable without a lot of work.
