I have a very strange problem: the "Applications" lens does not appear in unity dash. The unity-lens-application and unity-places-applications packages are installed, i tried also unity –reset but that didn't help. On the other hand, other users on the same machine have it working.
I thought it should depend from some messed up configuration so I tried to find something out of place in gconftool. Obviously also that was useless.
Since I don't want to completely reset the account (too much configs in place), I'd like to heare some suggestions (anything can help). Thanks!

After a lot of trial and error I found out it was something (still don't know exactly what) in .cache/software-center. I think I should report it but I don't know to whom (ideas?). Anyway, if someone is interested let me know and I'll send the infamous directory. Thanks to everyone that read this :)
