Some extra output from the live system:

```
$ dpkg -S .layout

ubuntu-mate-default-settings: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/mutiny.layout
ubuntu-mate-default-settings: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/ubuntu-mate.layout
mate-panel: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/ubuntu.layout

mate-panel: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/linuxmint.layout
ubuntu-mate-default-settings: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/redmond.layout

ubuntu-mate-default-settings: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/contemporary.layout
mate-panel: /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts/fedora.layout

```

So the panel *layouts* are actually installed.

Layouts are accessible from 'Welcome' application and changeable as well. Only not showing in MATE Tweak.

The condition for `self.indicators_available = True` is not satisfied in `mate-tweak`. The only items listed, 'GNOME2' and 'OpenSUSE' have test `not self.indicators_available` set which is satisfied.

Installing `indicator-datetime` (if you had removed it) and `indicator-session` will get back the full panel list.

Since we are moving to ayatana-indicators the datetime and session conditions need to be updated.
