Cinnamon use as windowmanager Muffin. If you try to replace Muffin with
a other Windowmanage (sawfish) also the Panel and all the other Cinnamon
stuff "disappears". The same is by Gnome3 if you replace the Mutter the
gnome3 windowmanager.
Why should someone use Mate? I don't know. Mate has no Panel plugins in
Mint (only the standard plugins from gnome2) and has only rename the
most applications from gnome2. If gnome3 (still) has the fallback mode
you have "more" from gnome2 in the gnome3 fallback mode as in Mate.
Mate makes no sense to me.
