When I click on Trisquel Logo on Menu Bar in Trisquel 7, Under "Places", when I click on "Home Folder" or "Desktop" the "Disk Usage Analyzer" is opened.

Why?

How do I fix/reset this to the default behavior?

Does the same happens in the file browser? If so, fix it there. You can drag and drop folders to the left panel.

No, the file browser is fine. I can't seem to drag and drop anything onto the pull down menus of the menu bar... Is there a way for me to just reset the menus, or perhaps maybe delete some config somewhere? I wonder how I messed this up :/

For sure, the "Places" are the bookmarks of the file manager in GNOME Shell (what I use). I am pretty sure it used to be the same with GNOME 2. It would be weird that GNOME Flashback (or is it Fallback?) behaves differently. Try to find "Edit Bookmarks" in the menus or type Ctrl+B that should be the keyboard shortcut.

Places isn't a Bookmark. Ctrl + B shows nothing after the window pops up. :/

Would reinstalling the Trisquel DE work to fix this?

It would fix nothing: the problem is in your personal configuration, somewhere in ~/.config, not in the system configuration. I am surprised there is no bookmarks in the file browser. I am pretty sure they define the places that show up in GNOME Shell's dash. I thought it was the same in Trisquel's default desktop environment.

As a test I just removed my .config folder a rebooted and the issue still exists... I think perhaps it IS a system config thing. Where can I test to see if the issue is a system config issue?

I believe the easiest is to create a new user (e.g., using the "+" button of "User Accounts" in the "System Settings") and logging in with this new user.

Not the worst idea. I just tested that this would work. I have to decide if its worth the hassle. Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Would Trisquel 8 just solve this? I would imagine so. Its a totally new DE... Maybe I should just wait for the big Trisquel 8 release.
