Reset Panel and Desktop

[HimAgain]

I have swapped from Linux Mint and retained my home partition and username.  Unfortunately, SparkyLinux Mate is picking up the profile settings for my old Mint panel and desktop.  I created another user which gets all the great Sparky features.  I could bring in my data and profile for email and other aps.  I then need to rename the new user etc. 

I would prefer to just reset the full gui in my own profile so I get the panel etc.  At present I cannot even access the aps because there is no menu. 

How do I reset panel, menu and desktop for my preferred account?

To reset MATE settings to the sparky's default, do:
1. Move two folders:

Code Select Expand

~HOME/.config/dconf to dconf.bak
~HOME/.config/mate to mate.bak
2. Reboot.
After rebooting, the system should reload the settings the same way as on first boot after hard drive installation.
Hope it will help.
