(Get the code!)
Hi, Martin, thank you for willing to offer help.

Well, in order to make the interfaces similar to Windows, we reimplemented the menu, indicator, panel, control center etc, which contains ukui-menu, ukui-indicators, peony, ukui-control-center and ukui-screensaver. Ukui-panel is utilized to fit the layout for ukui-menu. Mate-utils and mate-power-manager are dependent on mate-panel, so we had to fork them. What is more, a desktop environment must have it's own session-manager, so we forked mate-session-
Maybe we can cut mate-utils and mate-power-manager with your help. :)
