I think it's got something to do with the metacity themes (build flag
USE_METACITY), which are dependent on a old version of gnome-desktop,
which has not been updated or ported since mate.

the cmake of compiz says so:
No package 'gnome-window-settings-2.0' found
No package 'gnome-desktop-2.0' found

and in the summary:
"metacity theme support         : No"

I guess it could be updated/ported like every other mate package,
although it's not confirmed it would fix the problem.

thanks for your interest!
