I was editing menu (rearranging a few shortcuts) when something went wrong and the machine got frozen. Upon hard-resetting I found the "Applications" menu to be completely empty. No way to edit it as well; if I select "Edit menus" from the right-click list of items, the window fails opening (just flashes briefly).
Its "Places" and "System" counterparts work perfectly normal. Apart from the menu everything runs just fine.
I would appreciate ideas on how to restore it.

I found the solution myself. I describe it here in case someone else needs it.
The troubled file was /home//.config/menus/mate-applications.menu. In my case it was clear which part of the file was damaged and how the latter is to be repaired (should it not be the case the way forward would be to use newest of the backups named as "mate-applications.menu.undo-10" located in the same directory).
