Installed 11.10 upgrade successfully, Opened Compiz and unchecked Unity and now I have no access to apps, terminal and keyboard shortcuts don't work. Have a top toolbar with File Edit View Go Bookmarks and Help . No access to shutdown except through ctrl,alt,delete. Can access system settings right clicking desktop and and clicking "Change Desktop Background" but have no access to compiz. Any thoughts? Lee

I can't open a terminal. No access, not hot keys, or any other way.

Does hitting CTRL-ALT-[F2] (actually possibility of F2 to F7) brings you to a TTY where you could type the unity --reset garvinrick4 suggested ?
