The .desktop files in mate-utils contain "OnlyShowIn=MATE", which prevents them from showing up in other desktop environments, despite the fact they work fine. I think this flag should be removed, maybe with the exception of mate-screenshot.desktop (Most DEs come with their own screenshot tools already)

Would prefer that avenue be investigated first.

I found the question had already been asked: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-utils/issues/13 It pretty much boils down to: "I often don't like to see MATE menus spammed by other DE's apps (...) as such having our stuff shown only in our desktop seems to be a good idea... " A decision I don't agree with, as it's inconsistent with other DEs and an usability nightmare for non-geeks.
After thinking it over, I'm willing to add a patch for it, but it's not high on my list of priorities, so feel free to submit a patch if you want it expedited.
