I had this issue also, worked around it by copying that directory over. I don't 
know if this is related, but trying to access the preferences now brings up the 
shortcut dialog. Settings --> Options gets to preferences, though.

Personally, I'd love to see the menus get cleaned up so that qgis 
looks/feels/acts more like a mac application on mac platforms. This is a 
problem that arose sometime after 1.4 or 1.5, but it is now becoming more than 
a distraction. Multiple, redundant (you like that irony?) menu items, 
disorganized menu structures, Help menu not last in the menu bar, etc.

I wish I knew how to poke around in the ui files to try and fix this, but I do 
not. So no solutions provided here, only complaints. Sorry about that.

Cheers,
John
