I have now tried setting up another account on the same installation of Wily. The problem is there as well. I've been trying to get friends to run Wily, and try the steps that I found caused the problem. So far with little success. The steps are: Open an online account with Google, and use it to connect to google-contacts or evolution. Then go to Online Accounts, and turn off access for the applications listed as connecting to that account. This was how my problem began.

The launcher sidebar is unaffected, and the dash appears as normal but without access to applications. I re-instated all the default online account setting with no effect even after re-booting. I found in an Ubuntu wiki, a workaround for the same problem in 15.04, but this is not longer useable, as the '--reset' Unity commandline parameter, which was required, has now been removed. So far, I can't find where this information is stored, and there is no useful item to edit in the Unity plugin as seen in cssm. I am willing to try anything suggested and report.
