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!
