I run Arch Linux with Gnome3. I need to escape from the "routine" and change to Gnome for some weeks or even months. When I open it, I can't see the system menu, which is supposed to be right of "places", and cannot right click my desktop.

Is my Gnome corrupted?

As mentioned, the GNOME Tweak Tool will allow you to let the file manager manage the desktop which will bring back icons and context menu to your desktop. As for a system applications menu, if you don't like using the Overview, you could install GNOME Shell Extensions to add functionality. Check out 3 Taskbar Options for GNOME 3.2. The first taskbar option shown includes mgse-menu which is a pretty cool system menu.

There are a couple of other menu extensions available at extensions.gnome.org including an Applications menu and a Places menu.
