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 5 '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 5 '11 at 16:32

  1. create a launcher for terminal, with the command gnome-terminal
  2. then Open compiz in terminal with the command ccsm,
  3. go to preferences then click the Reset to Defaults

this work fine for me. :)
