First (minor), after final reboot, I was forced to create a new user, which is now the default user on the login screen.  Existing userid is still there, accessible via the "not listed?" link. Everything is intact in home directory.

You had to create a new user?  You got the initial-setup screens?

How to restore my old userid as the default on the login screen?

After logging in, it doesn't show up in the list?
Is there a file for that user in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/? If so, what is in it?

Second (MAJOR), once logged into my normal account, the graphical desktop no longer shows an "Applications" drop-down; all I get is the "Places" dropdown with no immediate way to start applications.

What desktop are you using? Do you have any extensions that might be failing? If this is Gnome, does pressing the logo key switch to the overview?

Browsing Places->Computer->/usr/bin and clicking on applications does not start them. Clicking on those (like Thunderbird) that have a shell script startup displays the text of the script.

Others (gnome-termainal, for example) generate a pop up that says:

"Could not display "gnome-terminal." There is no application installed for "shared library" files. Do you want to search for an application to open this file?"

That's what Nautilus does in F29 as well. You probably just didn't have any reason to try it.
