Bug Description
UPDATE: This affects first login of new users also.
Running unity --reset breaks Alt-F2 for the run command, Meta+D to show desktop, and Alt+F1 to show the main menu. I believe Unity itself ignores these metacity settings, but this breaks GNOME Shell & other similar sessions.

TEST CASE
1. cd ~/.gconf/apps
2. mv metacity metacity-old
3. unity --reset
4. Within a minute or so, a new metacity folder is created
5. cat metacity/
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="panel_
<stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="run_
<stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="panel_
<stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="show_desktop" mtime="1316732562" type="string">
<stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>
What should happen:
I think unity --reset should delete these strings which will reset settings to their defaults instead of setting new, wrong settings.
