After a default installation of Mate under Jessie there had been one icon and
three text labels on the left end of the top panel.
The icon was the same icon associated with "Main Menu" in "Add to Panel".
The three text labels were Applications, Places, and System.
I had a flaky mouse that generated random click events while moving. SOMETHING
was accidentally triggered.
I now have only the "Main Menu" icon. It has Applications, Places, and System as
submenus. I wish to return to the original configuration. How?
The "Help" system is very un-helpful. All I could find was a description of the
original configuration with nothing about restoring it if changed.
click on the panel
then add to panel.
both the main menu and the menu bar are
there in the list.
Yes, but with a "gotcha" ;)
The description of "Main Menu" is "The main MATE menu".
The description of "Menu Bar" is "A custom menu bar".
The first's description is fine, the second's is misleading.
I just completed another web search finding

.
The lack of clarity is illustrated in an image at top right of page.
Thank you.
