[TxMt] Re: 'mate' command from within 'screen'

[Markus Banfi]

I remember having this issue. The problem was that I used 'screen'
from MacPorts. Apple's 'screen' (/usr/bin/screen) works fine with
'mate' since MacOS X 10.6.
There is a description of this issue on the MacPorts bug tracker:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18235
