I added glib:bin to my config.scm and MATE can start applications again.
Propagating to %base-packages seems like a good quick-fix until
core-updates merges. It can also help XFCE, which might also suffer from
this problem.

Atril is the only one requiring a newer Glib. I would just leave atril
on 1.22 and update it later. It's only a leaf package and 1.22 is fine
enough, I think.

So only two members vouching for me left :P
Other findings
==============
* You can't shutdown or reboot. There is now button in MATE nor in GDM
after logging out.
* If you install a program or add it to your config.scm it only appears
in the App menu after the next reboot.
* pluma: installing external plugins fails with: "plugin loader python3
not found". Can be maybe fixed with propagating python. Plugins who are
installed by default do work.
* atril: Logo in about page is not an SVG.
* mate-control-center: `Preferred Applications` does not start/work.
`Time and Date Manager` does not work as well (dbus error).
I would only call the first issue major. But that's maybe due to testing
in a VM. I don't know.
