Missing >system >preferences

and user defined >applications >(favourites) drop-down also missing.
No possibility to edit main menu on principal (User 1000) login. 

This after I accidentally deleted the main menu, and struggled to
restore it.

Trying to run alacarte from Konsole as user [tim] or sudo reports:

I can launch Synaptic using Deskbar, but have no privilege to actually
do anything except look. However all is there and working on another
privileged user log-in!

Using this other user, I loaded gnome-main-menu and libslab (which was
missing) but no effect

I have also checked user/owner for each file I can think of - just in
case whatever is missing is only occulted.
