Sorry for the late reply. I'm sure you probably already have  it
figured, this is  what i did. 
I logged into my Fedora desktop as regular
user; opened a Terminal; logged in as root using su -; typed
dconf-editor- on dconf-editor's left pane, I just followed
org -> gnome-> settings-daemon->  plugins  -> xsettings  submenu, then
on dconf-editor's right window - I added {'Gtk/ShellsShowsAppMenu': <0>}
next to overrides entry and that restored preferences within gedit,etc.
