When you log in, you can select Unity2D session (use the Ubuntu logo next to your username to change session). You can then undo the changes you made

 Compiz config settings manager is a dangerous program. You must know
what to do in case you want to use it.

Now you must remove all you settings so everything going back to begin.

|rm -rf .compiz* .gconf* .config/dconf/ .config/compiz*

reboot your PC and then run

unity --reset

wait for 10 minutes (top) and then logout - login .

Thanks
