Bug#765994: mate-control-center: Message "The current window manager is unsupported" opening "Windows" preferences

[Matthew Horan]

Package: mate-control-center
Version: 1.8.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After updating to the latest version of marco, the Windows preferences
of mate-control-center no longer open. After the upgrade, the message
"The current window manager is unsupported" is displayed.

There is an upstream bug report
(https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/issues/137) which states that the
issue has been fixed in the latest mate-control-center.
