Right, I probably know what this is then. Same thing happened to me
recently, albeit on Precise. That menu there is called the Session
Indicator, and is presented by indicator-session-service (ps -efw |
grep indicator-session-service should show it). But it only appears
for gnome-settings-daemon is running (ps -efw | grep
gnome-settings-daemon probably won't show that in this case).
Alt-F2 and enter gnome-settings-daemon in the text field and the menu
should magically appear. Incidentally, have you also noticed problems
with your theme? When it happened to me all my icons, buttons, etc.
reverted to stock GTK+ ones.

Wow, that helped sort of. It is something to do with
gnome-settings-daemon. If I enter that into a terminal, funny thing
happens in the left panel and the top panel, and the Drop down menu
appears. If I close the terminal, it goes away again........if I enter
both the the things you mentioned same thing happens, and it disappears
if the terminal is closed.......does that mean the gnome-settings-daemon
is not running, and should it be running all the time, and also, how can
I get the Icon to remain, without having to keep the terminal open......
thank you,
brilliant, almost there.....
