Basically, when I press Super it looks like this:

As you can see, the Launcher is missing. I have no idea why this happened.

I have already tried the following:

removing folders: ~/.compiz-1 and ~/.config/compiz-1 and running unity --reset,
reinstalling Unity with sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity,
reverting all sidebar settings to defaults in Ubuntu Tweak,
checking that the Unity plugin is enabled in CCSM (as described here),
restarting the system.

None of these helped. Do you have any other ideas? How can I find out what happened?

It seems as if the transparency is set to close to 100%. – To Do Jan 10 '13 at 23:10
I don't think it's "close to 100%". Running xwininfo and selecting place where the launcher should be returns info about the Desktop. – mik01aj Jan 13 '13 at 21:59
This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions on filing a bug report are here. – Jorge Castro Jan 25 '13 at 02:06
I found the solution - I had to remove ~/.config/monitors.xml, that helped. – mik01aj Feb 23 '13 at 13:58
