Hello,
I have an Ubuntu Mate 16.04 install from the iso download. The issue I have encountered is that while I have managed to get a Mate desktop in a remote VNC connection from a Win 7 system using the tightvncserver script on the Ubuntu Mate system, there is a terminal artifact that appears in the upper left of the Mate desktop. The terminal artifact does not have the normal window boundaries and is always on top of any other display. The terminal will respond to the hide desktop icon in the lower left ribbon on the bottom of the Mate display. The terminal will also respond to an exit command issued in its command line.
How can I avoid this terminal artifact ?
My VNC xstartup file is listed below:
#!/bin/sh

#xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
