I'm seeing the same problems others are reporting here on 11.10
(released) with latest Unity: unity_4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1_amd64.deb
It wasn't clear to me that mods in "Ubuntu 2d" would persist in
"Ubuntu", so here's what I did to restore my settings:
1. Create a new user and login as him (Unity works).
2. Report his compiz settings using
gconftool-2 -R /apps/compiz-1 > working-unity
3. Login as "me" and report my settings:
gconftool-2 -R /apps/compiz-1 > borked-unity
4. Compare to find the difference:
$ diff borked-unity working-unity

Maybe this can help someone if they're still trying to debug this issue.
FWIW, I didn't know about "unity --reset". That would have solved my
problem. Instead, I found that the "active_plugins" setting was the
key. I restored it using this command:
gconftool-2 --type list --list-type string --set
/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins
"[core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,vpswitch,grid,snap,move,regex,gnomecompat,compiztoolbox,mousepoll,resize,wall,animation,place,imgpng,workarounds,expo,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,session,scale,ezoom,unityshell]"
And for good measure:
