I assume that you completly fucked-up gnome while fingering compiz (exactly like I did) . Open a terminal (ctrl+alt+F1 if you are all-fucked) and type away the following : $ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart Works like magic !

Hey People! Its so simple, but usually we never think in a simple way & get too messed up with things like this. Especially the expert minds miss simple things in life more then us….
I browsed many a forums & websites for help but the one that worked for me was really my own discovery & I’m sure it will work with all similar problems.
I believe, the Solution I found is the easiest.
Here it is:
Just select “GNOME (failsafe)” as your log-on session instead of “GNOME” when you are prompted for User Name & Password. Now you can revert, reset, set defaults & make changes or rectify the wrong settings that you may have done by mistake. After you are done, just log-out & again log-in with GNOME as your log-on session.
Happy Linuxing Folks!!!
