I've been searching and no answer seems to apply.
I've got Ubuntu 12.04 with 2 users created. One of the users messed up her desktop (top panel stretched out, left panel disappeared, windows have close button only -no minimize, no restore-), the other user's desktop is fine as always was. I don't have a clue what the first user has done to mess it up, but I need to somehow reset that desktop configuration to its default, how can I do that?
I've tried unity --reset
and it doesn't work (doesn't seem to finish running).
As I said: I only want to reset that particular user's desktop configuration, because I even created a new user and the configuration after creation of that new user is fine.
Thanks a lot.
UPDATE: left of top panel shows the option "Activities", which I don't see in any other installation of 12.04. In the middle of the panel is the weekday and time of the day, in the right hand side of the panel, 4 icons: universal access, volume, network and user-name.
