Ubuntu 11.04 how to restore missing title bar,top and botton

Asked by Antonio

While trying to configure the 3D Cube effect using Compiz Setting Manager, I disable my menus bar, I don't know how to get them back. I'm new with Linux , I don't where to find the option or commands, I try Alt+F2 but the command doesn't work, don't know why; I also search in google and found an article saying I need go to Sytem-Preferences,but I can't even find Prefences on linux.
Please help!!

Thanks in advance,

Try to do this:
1. Login into Ubuntu
2. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
3. Insert and run this command:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
unity --reset

4. Restart, this should work.

If when you hit CTRL + ALT + T and nothing happen, do this:
1. At login screen select Recovery Console at bottom:
