Hi Tony, if you remember I said that using the Icon in the panel was not
an
option it just didnt work so I couldnt bring up the desktops , but I went
back to Compiz>Desktop, and found that if I clicked on Expo, I could use
the
icon again, and it bought back the workspaces.......problem is, all this
fiddling to get everything back and working, the amount of buttons I
pressed
which stated what I was pressing was in conflict with something or other
(and this is what is annoying, it doesnt give you an option to not change
something) there must be something somewhere that is still broken, and I
have no clue why......but I do now have the Panel and the bar at the top
back, and I can swap between windows, but dont ask me how that
happened......there needs to be a manual on compiz in 11.10, because I
have
seen quite a few articles written about how you can so easily have your
system broken with compiz.....I was just glad that I was able to bring up
the compiz box....otherwise it might have been a new install.......
As a matter of interest did you try doing unity --reset again after
enabling the Ubuntu Unity Plugin? This is supposed to reset
everything. There is a bug report for the fact that it does not cope
with the plugin disabled.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/881639. Ideally anything else
that it does not cope with should be reported also.

Hi Colin, I did the unity --reset to start when my desktop disappeared, but
its the first I have seen about having to do it after........problem is, I
just pressed buttons when it came to the conflicts almost all of them, I
have no idea what they even meant, so i couldnt tell what was conflicted
with what......so posting bug reports would have been impossible for me,
because I wouldnt have even known what was a bug or not.....
Yes I realise that. I should have suggested trying reset again after
enabling the plugin.
Colin
If it happens again, and I have no doubt that it will, I will know to do
it again, maybe next time it resets everything without me having to
fiddle so much.....I'll remember next time.....
Thank you
John
