MATE desktop malfunction



Not sure exactly when or why this began, but whenever I log onto the
MATE v1.22 desktop on my CentOS 8.1 storage server, the background is
totally black and of course the black mouse cursor vanishes -- except
for a ghostly "shimmer" as it passes over icons in the top toolbar.
When over the Firefox icon, I can hit Enter and the app will open with
a working mouse. However, I cannot resize the Firefox window, or even
close it.

I've tried creating another user account and logging into the MATE
desktop with it. I get the exact same behavior, so I strongly suspect
the problem is a corruption somewhere in the MATE installation itself
and not in any user configuration file(s).

I have attached an output listing of the command "dnf erase *mate*".
I'm not sure I understand the three sections of the listing --
especially the one labelled "Removing unused dependencies:"  Unused
dependencies???

I suspect I could manually remove each of the packages in the first two
sections using the GNOME3 desktop without breaking CentOS 8.1. All of
those packages are from the COPR repo. But the third section, the one
listing unused dependencies, worries me.

My objective, of course, is to R&R the MATE packages from the COPR repo
and hopefully correct whatever corruption there may be.

Any ideas or warnings???
