Thanks, Tim! I'll struggle with the awful MATE for a little longer.
I was part of a discussion on another mailing list recently. We could between
us think of no other DE that caters for poor eyesight anyhting like as well
as TDE - which caters well by being so easily adaptable, whatever ones reason
for wanting to adapt it. (Mind you, MATE on Linux Mint appears to be
particularly bad - again, not just my observation.)

official installation instructions similar to the 3.5.13.2 installation

Yes, Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu Trusty, so given APT sources should
work
correctly.
I have been struggling with the awful Linux Mint and MATE ever since. I
felt that I must move beyond my comfort zone. Debian and TDE is so easy
and so familiar. So for my new box for playing streaming media on my
television I installed Linux Mint 17 with Mate.
I have made myself give it a fair chance. But I can stand it no longer.
So I bit the bullet, edited my sources.list, updated and tried to
install
TDE 14.
This is the result:
