Hello there,
I am new to mate and to synaptic. I have been using linux for several years but am not an advanced user. Just so that you take it easy on me
I have installed the new mate today and updated it. Since then Synapse is constantly crashing. Synapse and only synapse. Everything else seems to work like charm.

BY THE WAY. I cannot disable the plugins. Synapse crashes and re-enables them1
Yes thanks GTK_IM_MODULE='' synapse
works, but I am not sure about next step, for usr/share/applications/synapse.desktop seems to be a kind of executable file. I am not sure how to edit it.
Thanks again for your help.
