MATE applications only fit for a running MATE Environment?

[ng0]

I'm currently packaging MATE, but I'm not a very well experienced
user of MATE. I'm used to modular systems where you can reuse
applications outside of their bigger projects.

gnome-terminal can in theory be used in other WMs and DMs aswell.
Except that with mate-terminal I had issues in a spectrwm - only system.
In addition to "bug#28088: "The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any 
.service files" with multiple applications"
I get this in GNOME (where 28088 is a non-issue):

address@hidden ~$ mate-terminal

(mate-terminal:841): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.mate.interface' is 
not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap


I assume I might still lack an application in the graph though.. I have the very
base of MATE now, and the test with MATE is with only mate itself being
present.

The very base seems to be:
mate-desktop, mate-menus, mate-panel, mate-session-manager
mate-settings-daemon, marco, and optionally(?)
caja, mate-control-center, mate-media,
mozo, mate-terminal.

But I only experience issues with mate-terminal for now.. Marco/the WM itself
is another issue.

This is what I have:
