A little recording with the bug. It has a little default, in which the screen is cut, but is enough to see the error

It's pretty simple.

1. Install mate

apt install mate-desktop-enviroment

2. Boot MATE

echo "start mate-session" >> ~/.xinitrc

startx

3. Open file explorer

In MATE DE, open "pluma"

I cannot check it because I cannot reproduce it — as I said, I don't
get to the stage where I could attempt to open a file explorer. It
also sounds quite likely to only be reproducible on your machine, not
anyone else's.

You should debug or rpctrace it to see what it actually tries to do
and how exactly it fails.
