Yes, just need to figure out what's best.
E.g. probably only makes sense to ask if the application is installed (rather than running from a disk image), and maybe not ask the first time a user runs the application (since he wouldn't know if he'd want it yet). And also provide a way for the user to maybe create it later and or inspect what was what done… and personally I favor ~/bin but that doesn't exist by default, and thus would also need to be added to the PATH… a lot to think about :)
You'd probably just want an entry in preferences. Maybe a toggle for enable/disable, and another pref for installation location? And maybe a third toggle for installing mate_wait as well. Of course, I'd also want it renamed to tm (and tm_wait). And this is starting to sound a bit complicated...
