The problem manifested after an upgrade from bullseye, and not in a fresh
bookworm install. I did not perform any local configuration. No change from
`apt reinstall slim`.

Prior to logging into the MATE desktop, I logged into the gnome desktop,
and then logged out. Perhaps this left behind a garbled systemd login
config, that was not cleared on the subsequent MATE login? I will
experiment...

Is there a recommended debugging procedure, to find the root cause?
