Hi,
Sorry for the misunderstanding ;)

I would look into

  gconftool-2 --recursive-unset

dpkg-reconfigure <package_name>

I have had to use both on previous occasions, but cannot offer any 
further advice (found as solutions to problems on google)
I am sure google can be your friend here as well (search commands)

Maybe someone here will help further expand on these commands? But I 
prefer to try and do my own research, as I learn more that way!?!
