    Unity messed up my desktop

    I installed the Ubuntu 10.10 beta and after intalling, it installed Unity from the Netbook edition.

    I thought it was normal so I tried it out for a while but it was glitchy and I didnt like it so I tried disabling it. I couldnt find a way how to do it, and I didnt have any Panels on my desktop and my background was just plain white, all that was visible was the Unity bar on the left side of the screen.

    I decided to just reset my ubuntu settings to default without losing any of my Apps, movies, music, pictures etc etc

    After doing that I restarted Ubuntu but now all i get its a white background without any panels and only Docky pops up at the bottom.

    Is there anything I could do?

    After installing Unity on my production Ubuntu 10.10 by these commands:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unity
    a reboot was required.

    After the splash screen, I got nothing but a flashing screen (Dell D610). Nothing would work, System Rescue, Rescatux, Supergrub, etc. The only solution was to reinstall 10.10 on the same partition, then reinstall the software that is not part of the default install. BUMMER. If Ubuntu goes with Unity, I'll switch to another distro.
