Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears

I switched off the "Animations" options in the CCSM manager by mistake. This removed all the window decorations, removed Unity, and even the top menu bar which has the shutdown menu I restarted, but it didn't make any difference. The login screen is fine. All I see after login is the wallpaper. How do I "undo" this mistake? I can use keyboard shortcuts, and hence, access the terminal. Also, when I tried to restart unity from terminal, this is what I see, after which it doesn't show anything else:

  • I solved the problem myself. I started CCSM manager through the terminal and started the Unity Plugin, resolved the conflicts, and rebooted :) It was done! :)

Reset to default

The command:

unity --reset

Should reset all your compiz (including unity) settings to the default values.
