When trying to install either of these from Software Centre I run into "Requires Untrusted Packages" dialog with option "OK" or "Repair" but neither results in package being installed!
Just wanted to mess about with Unity appearance, trivial I know but it's snowing and i can't get out!

Make sure you have the latest packages...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Do you get any error messages installing from terminal?

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Ok, couple of commands if you don't know them.
Reset unity to default...

unity --reset

Reload compiz

compiz --replace
