Hi Alan.  Thanks for your quick response. The launcher hasn't changed. 
The dash appears as normal, but shows only documents.  Clicking the 
'apps' icon at the bottom of the dash tells me that there is nothing 
that matches the search (for all applications).  I said "This happened 
immediately after I'd tried to 'de-google' the system as far as I was 
able".  I had removed all of the google integration settings from the 
system settings -> online accounts with the exception of contacts.  It 
may have been co-incidental, but immediately after that, the problem 
first occurred.

the problem does seem to have occurred in 15.04, but as I say, the 
workaround for that no longer works.  I do have ccsm installed, but 
there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to the Unity plugin that 
looks promising.

Otherwise, it's nice to be back with Ubuntu after a few months mainly on 
Mint because of Wine being broken from 14.10 through to 15.04.  Once the 
fix reached 15.10, Mint is only there as an emergency backup.

Kind regards,  Barry.
