I could not find a related upstream issue for this. In this day and age, if it is not essential for a Mate desktop may as well hide it behind mate-base/mate[!elogind] if upstream does not move in time?
xfce4-screensaver has a working patch over at bug 681334 now, maybe it is adaptable to your needs?
Created attachment 570610 [details, diff] autoconf precious variable approach to adding elogind support Maybe just doing what I do in gdm is sufficient in parallel to upstreaming efforts? COMPLETELY blind patch to that effect attached.

COMPLETELY blind patch to that effect attached. Did a build test with your patch and it worked :) There is also a PR upstream at: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/pull/188 which should go in soon as a similar patch for mate-session was accepted.

Did a quick test with MATE and elogind today and it worked well so far but one thing: Choosing reboot in MATE only logs you out, returns to the SDDM login menu. Do I need to change some config too?

NM: -session optional pam_elogind.so got lost in system-auth, now it works
I guess this be closed as fixed?
(In reply to OzTiram from comment #8) > I guess this be closed as fixed? Someone needs to check if mate-system-monitor ever got a proper patch upstream.
Created a PR upstream. https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-system-monitor/pull/253
