My user menu has been messed up since Cauldron restarted... missing items,
different order. I noticed a few weeks ago Suspend was missing and Power
Off was in the middle of the menu. Now it's at the bottom where it belongs
and Suspend is accessible with the Alt key (Suspend no longer works the way
it once did, but now drains the battery).

About two weeks ago my video driver was killed by an update, so I got the
GDM background with the progress spinner but no GNOME Shell. Updating from
the console corrected this after a few days.

The System Settings menu pick until recently would try to start from the
menu, displaying "System Settings" in the app menu position on the top bar
but failing. Now it doesn't even try *that* hard, it just doesn't do
anything.  I would have sworn it could once be launched from the command
line, but now it's unrecognized.

Is there some way to wipe out my configuration and start from scratch? By
re-installing a package, maybe? Otherwise let me know what kind of output
is needed to diagnose.

Thanks,

Mike
