How to Reset Desktop?

How to reset desktop? I mean resetting the entire desktop, including the menu (?) bar at the top right of the screen?

Which version of *ubuntu?

Sorry! Just noticed it is 13.04, so I can't help you.

for compiz reset: Install dconf-tools
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ log out and in.
To refresh your Unity launcher with the default set of icons: unity --reset-icons

No need to log out and back in. Following dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ just use setsid unity which will restart unity.

This dconf bit will reset unity.
