Yeah, I did this a few weeks ago. I couldn't get it back for the life
of me. This advice from Thomas Cameron helped:

The "chainsaw" method is to boot the machine to runlevel 3 (i.e. np GNOME
stuff running), and in your home directory run the commands:

mkdir backup
mv .g* backup

This will move all your GNOME settings (essentially deleting them) and they
will be reset to defaults next time you start X.

Good luck.
