Yeah, I read that this was the case.  Upstream says that the problem is
a Debian problem, and that the upgrade would fix it.  Unfortunately, the
upgrade has not made it to the Debian repositories.  IMHO, the bug for
Debian should remain open until the maintainers get it fixed in Debian,
either by patching the existing software, or more probably by upgrading
the software in the repositories appropriately.  AFAIK, Stretch has not
as of yet been frozen, so the maintainers have the flexibility to fix it
by incorporating the newer version of caja (I believe the mate-desktop
is already at 1.16.2 in the repository).
