The only way to get it back is a reboot. I have observed this to happen on several different machines, all running Unity 3d. I don't know if this affects Unity 2d or not. It is still possible to launch apps with the Meta-key, and to switch between them with Alt+Tab when this issue is happening, but the bar itself is rendered useless, it won't respond to any combination of keystrokes or mouse-clicks that I've tried. You can see the problem in the attached screenshot. I also still have the machine running with the bug, so it can be used for diagnostics or to test any workarounds.
