Is this feature what you mean like this? http://people.freebsd.org/~mezz/window_foucs_mode.png If so then it does work perfect. I am not sure if it's same feature that you are talking about. But.. You should know that Cinnamon is a young project and they are working on add/fix features. You can make request at their place. > I hope MATE develops into a stable platform Me too. They are going to port MATE to GTK+3 later. It's in their roadmap. http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/roadmap Create MATE port should be very easy by repocopy from bsd.gnome.mk to bsd.mate.mk and modify in bsd.port.mk, then repocopy a lot of ports that have been renamed from MATE folks. Then some small tweaks in Makefile/pkg-plist and a few files/* too. I think it will be easy (a weekend or a bit more days worth of work).
