Guys, I kinda forgot about this patch. Since then, I've submitted a better patch [1] - it's better because it's intended to be applied to VTE, a terminal widget library which all GTK+2 terminals (MATE terminal, Xfce terminal, roxterm-gtk2, lxterminal, etc.) use.
If it's applied, then there's no need to patch MATE terminal (and other GTK+2 terminals) - the alternate screen scroll will be enabled there automatically.
It would be nice if you vote and comment there, persuading VTE maintainers to apply that patch.
Oh.
