please help, I messed up my linux.
I use kubuntu linux and just as I got all the graffics just right, I activated one other feachure at compizsettings,and now I have no controle over my linux. Everything is fine until Im logged on then I can see throu my desctop cube,but can only see the outlines, all my graffics is bad I can't see any details and buttons on the desktop! I activated the feature with the picture of a red ball/circle on the icon,in compizsettings. I cant use my linux at the moment,which is very sad. I have linux and windows duel booted on my hp 530 celeron M, 1.6ghz, 1G ram, 120G laptop.
Is there any whay for me to correct my mistake/undo the activation of that feature?
PLEASE HELP ME GET MY LINUX BACK.

metacity --replace
if it spits errors at you, try
metacity --replace ccp &
