Hi,

Regarding your Compiz error, Compiz moved away from gconf and is now 
using dconf to store configuration settings. There is now a new way to 
reset compiz back to original state. I would recommend you delete the 
.compiz directory then run:

* sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
* dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
* setsid unity (restarts Unity)
* dconf dump /org/compiz/ (shows current settings)
* Restart your session (logout) or do a soft reboot

All the best,
