Ubuntu was working fine. I upgraded to 11.1. The Launcher is no longer visible, nor does moving the cursor to the left window margin work, nor does Alt-F2 help, etc. However, when I login as GUEST, the Unity interface appears to be correct and as expected All this leads me to believe that the problem is due to a (probable) config option.

However, at this time, I am trying to learn Ubuntu and am quite unfamiliar with the system and all associated jargon, so I need a very simple, step by step explanation. Thanks.

Sounds as if you have an incompatible or corrupt gnome setting. Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to re-create your home directory. I gave step-by-step instructions on how to do this in this question askubuntu.com/questions/87057/… please give it a try. – bodhi.zazen Dec 13 '11 at 5:16

It's also possible to type in a terminal: unity --reset. Worked fine for me
