    Ok, I think I got it working alright. Funnily enough I'm quite sure I did try this several times yesterday, but this is what I did from a terminal windows inside the broken unity environment (right click, select terminal):

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop unity
    dconf reset -f /org/compiz
    dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

    (Note that I did not use sudo in the last two commands)
