Doesn't Mate provide a shortcut to open an app finder or a right click
menu to launch a terminal as user1? There's no way to launch a terminal as user1?

If you only can open a terminal as user2, then as user2 run

sudo -u user1 HOME=/home/user1 dbus-launch gsettings list-schemas | grep org.mate | xargs -n 1 gsettings reset-recursively

after that run

HOME=/home/user2
