I ran into this problem so I removed my deltas.  Then when I start up, I get:

The first time I hit this is a Fill for the save tool item:

org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.menu.impl.HandledToolItemImpl@26012601 (elementId: save, tags: null, contributorURI: null) (widget: ToolItem {}, renderer: null, toBeRendered: true, onTop: false, visible: true, containerData: null, accessibilityPhrase: null) (label: null, iconURI: platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.ui/icons/full/etool16/save_edit.gif, tooltip: Save, enabled: true, selected: false, type: Push) (wbCommand: null)

I got into this state, and *did not* remove my deltas.

removing my deltas allowed the system to come back up.
