[SOLVED] MATE died - mate-settings-daemon doesn't run

Okay, I have a dead MATE, installed with Wiki in hand.

I have classic gnome problem after login:

The program 'mate-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error.

And there is more:

yaourt mate-conf
1 mate/mate-conf 1.2.1-1 (mate) [installed]
    A configuration database system
2 mate/mate-conf-editor 1.2.0-1 (mate-extras) [installed]
    A configuration database system editor
3 aur/mate-conf 20120308-1 [installed: 1.2.1-1] (27)
    A configuration database system
4 aur/mate-conf-editor 2011.08.31-1 [installed: 1.2.0-1] (Out of Date) (5)
    A configuration database system editor
==> Enter n° of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3)
==> -------------------------------------------------------
==> 

I have NOT installed those 2 packages from AUR! I have removed mate-conf and mate-conf-editor, cleared pacman cache, reinstalled mate-conf - still the same - it shows "double" packages.

Anybody encountered this?

Solved with this:

The solution:

start gconf-editor, then open / -> apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> xrandr in it and disable flag "active".
