You can reset your Unity configuration with unity --reset (via How do I reset my Unity configuration?)

It does seem that many compiz settings can conflict with unity. I have had to reset mine several times over the last few days of playing with CCSM. – dr_willis May 05 '11 at 13:13

Based on the contents of unity --help, running unity --reset will clear any custom settings you use in the unity plugin.

When my panel disappears, I instead run unity --replace

I was doing this so often while tweaking CCSM that I set it to a keyboard shortcut, haha – Dorkus1218 May 05 '11 at 16:32

Unity's --reset switch is deprecated. To reset Unity's settings run the following 2 commands:

(This should only apply to 13.04 and 13.10, I'm not sure about older versions)

Install dconf if you don't have it: sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Reset compiz settings: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ (This is not a path on your disk, but it just identifies compiz-specific settings)
Restart Unity: setsid unity
Never use compiz again (You can obviously skip this step)
