Error with missing Wallpaper after remove unity from sudo command

Question

After I paste these scripts into terminal, my wallpaper became white.

sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/xdg-une/autostart/maximus-autostart.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
sudo ln -s /etc/xdg/xdg-une/autostart/netbook-launcher.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
sudo ln -s /usr/share/gconf/une/default/20_une-gconf-default /usr/share/gconf/defaults/
sudo ln -s /usr/share/gconf/une/mandatory/20_une-gconf-mandatory /usr/share/gconf/defaults/
sudo update-gconf-defaults

Help me, I dont know what [-s] for ? and how do i get my wallpaper back.

Best Regards from Newbie

ln -s will make a symbolic link to a file. To reverse what you have done just delete the links:

sudo rm /etc/xdg/autostart/maximus-autostart.desktop 
sudo rm /etc/xdg/autostart/netbook-launcher.desktop 
sudo rm /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20_une-gconf-default 
sudo rm /usr/share/gconf/defaults/20_une-gconf-mandatory 
sudo update-gconf-defaults

That should leave the system in the state that was prior the commands.
