compiz configuration gone wrong

[rockager]

help! i have accidentally configured compizconfigure settings manager to activate the shift switcher whenever i press the left mouse button.
because of this now i cant do any work
as the shift switcher is activated whenever i press the left mouse button

i tried to use remove compiz by typing this command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get remove compiz
the terminal said that it has been removed but but it is still in the system>>preferences menu and the shift switcher still gets activated when i press the left mouse button.
what should i do?

Disable compiz, then go into the compiz manager and change the shift switcher key binding so it's not your left mouse button.

You should be able to switch to the normal GNOME window manager as so:

Hit ALT+F2 and type

metacity --replace
