Ubuntu 14.04.2 Menu bar and Launcher Missing

Question

As you may have gathered from the title of this question, my menu bar and launcher are missing from my account.

It started when I tried to download unity (the mobile platform development tool) through wine, which failed, and then I (in the midst of my forgetfulness of how ubuntu is unity based) tried to remove it through terminal by typing:

sudo apt-get remove unity

And my menu bar and launcher have been missing ever since.

I've tried to fix it by typing:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity

to no avail, and I also tried:

sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

to which I received the error:

E: Command line option --reinstall not understood

Random Notes about this issue:

• It is only on my account (the only other being Guest Session, which appears perfectly fine)

• I can still open and use the applications on my desktop (of which there are select few)

• I can open the rest of my applications by creating a folder, double clicking on it and then hunting for it in my file system, which is a royal pain

• Of the applications I open through that loophole, They cannot be moved around or resized by dragging their border

• There is some space to the right of my desktop which I can hide the mouse or move Chrome into, and which is at least as wide as my desktop
