Thanks. I've just installed compizconfig-settings-manager and now - before I had a chance to disable the "Grid" plugin kkkrrsh - the launcher won't appear, there's no menu bar at the top of the screen, and I kind of hope the desktop will magically fix itself when I reboot the machine.
Edit: Nope, the desktop is toast. So now I have to figure out how to open a terminal window, and how to reset Unity, before I can even try to stop Unity being a control-freak.
I feel so lucky to have a Windows partition that might allow me to be productive in the meantime!
Edit2: Better and better - I can open a terminal window, I can type 'unity --reset' and then after a dozen lines the script hangs.

Unity: What is there not to like?
