That is what happened to me. The selectors disappeared from below the display 
of tool icons and there was no colour selector tab in the bottom portion of 
the Layers/Channels/Paths dialog. I turned on the toolbox selectors again so I 
could have the items back again.

I will start trying out the new system. The main downside I see at the moment 
is that of increased mouse mileage from needing to move between the top of the 
toolbox dialog to the bottom of the Layer/Channels/Paths dialog to alter 
colours or do the simple operation of switching foreground and background 
colours. I know there is a keyboard shortcut for the operation but I don't 
remember what it is. As an occasional user of GIMP I don't tend to remember 
the dozens of keyboard shortcuts in the program. I tend to rely on the use of 
icons, buttons, and menus.
