Bug Description

In Compizconfig, preferences, I set to reset Unity profile. The screen refreshes, and now there is no top bar, or side bar. Super key no longer opens dash, and alt doesn't show the menu search thing. I can't even move or resize windows, even after reboot and log back in.

Here's an easy way to see this bug: Log in as guest account, go to compizconfig, go to preferences, unity, click "Reset to Defaults". Notice instead of resetting defaults, it disabled even the base Unity plugin!

This is a serious problem, right now I'm wondering if the problem s I'm having in the Unity prerelease are bugs or are misconfigured plugins because I reset it and didn't re-enable something. There should be a more obvious way to re-set the defaults.
