My question was intended to ascertain if the version 3.3 command to
restore the factory default template is still available. I did not
notice its availability (no such version 3.3.x command in the UI __in my
version 3.4.x). So, what is the version 3.4.x manner for doing that?

Hi :)
It's just that renaming the old one or deleting it forces LO to create new
fresh folders and files. Renaming the entire profile is a bit of a
sledge-hammer approach, roughly equivalent to what most people expect from a
re-install of the program, but it also works for sub-folders within the profile.
It's worth trying out the renaming and keep the lower-level folder open so that you can
see the new "3" folder being created just by opening LO.
Often when people have problems with LO they can pin-point it to a specific
file or sub-sub-folder within the user-profile and then simply revert to the
factory default for that.
It works the same way in most other OpenSource programs.

Would I be correct in assuming that
the factory-default template is actually now embedded within
the software--sans any file--for version 3.4.x? I noticed
that the former version 3.3.x command no longer exists
(according to my way of thinking...) for reverting to the
factory-default template--the LO analog of the normal.docm
file in MS Word 2007 or later, which is now built into LO,
no?

You can get rid of all extensions, settings,
configurations, galleries,
templates and all by just re-naming your
user-profile. In LobreOffice look
in
Tools - Options - LibreOffice/General - Paths
and look for the folders "... libreoffice/3/user
...". If you rename the
"3" to todays date in reverse date order (eg for me,
today it would be
"2011-10-24") then it's easier to keep track of which
profile back-up is the
most recent. LibreOffice is forced to generate
an entirely new profile
which sets LibreOffice "back to factory
defaults". You can then choose to
copy&paste some stuff back in from your previous
profile to regain parts or
all of what you lost by doing so.
