Hi Michael!

> On a brand new install of Stretch on 2 different computers (both x86-64)
> mate-panel is unstable and the notification icons (e.g. bluetooth,
> sound, network) disappear without warning. This also occurred when Mate
> 1.16 was released on an old install of Stretch that was upgraded from
> Jessie, at the time I thought my settings may have caused the problem.

Could you please provide the contents of ~/.xession-errors after the error
has occurred? If there are any components of MATE crashing, it should show
up in that log file. Also, can you check your syslog or dmesg for any
crash messages?

> 500 testing ftp.deb-multimedia.org

Please be aware that you are mixing in packages from an external source and
you are therefore creating a so-called FrankenDebian [1]. Debian Multimedia
is not an official Debian repository and should only ever add it with down-
graded priority (less than 500). Otherwise APT will randomly pull in packages
from that source.
