help with metacity and windows something

[Jason Davis]

Sorry i am burnt up in the head right now.  After just starting to get to
using the terminal and really loving Ubuntu netbook 10.04,  I have been on a
8 hour terror looking for some way to save my tail.    I had been loading
all kinds of stuff including the compiz.   I had installed Tor and had just
compiled some stuff.....ugh.   Then I noticed if I clicked on the metacity
it wouldn't do anything so I took the Ubuntu software loader and uninstalled
Metacity, the window panel and couch DB.  Well  when i went back to login I

.gconfd .metacity .....

R/desktop/gnome/session  then it would say  every normal line but the
windowmanager and the panel is missing
 and i have ran  gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /desktop/gnome/session and no
luck.

I am sorry but the only computer i have is the one i am working on.  The
only internet is thru m
