Reset GNOME to default

rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
This will reset the GNOME desktop to its default settings. If you have done a lot of changes and tweaks to your desktop and want to get it to its default setting, then you can delete these folders.
On restarting the system, the default settings will be restored.
To restore the panels to its default settings :
administrator@ubuntu:~$ gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel
administrator@ubuntu:~$ rm -rf ~/.gconf/ apps/panel
administrator@ubuntu:~$ pkill gnome-panel
