Bug Description

If the user installs Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) and clicks 'Set Default Settings' in the preferences panel then the Unity compiz plugin is removed meaning the panel and launcher are lost from the desktop. I discovered this after a user reported the problem on the forums. To fix it using GUI only read here:

I had this problem in 11.10. I think this will catch more and more people out and the priority should be increased. Set Default Settings is a natural thing to do after experimenting with settings.

Just discussed with Sam, he will have a look about it in the gsettings world and make some tests on gconf.

This problem is still happening at Ubuntu Raring (13.04). After a malfunction of CCSM, I've tried to reset to default settings and panel and Unity crashes. I have make it back applying the solution explained at Bug Description. Thanks.
