In case I have to reset or reinstall my launcher, how can I back up the settings? (Such as the list of applications.)

To get a list of applications do:

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites > myfavs.txt

Then to reset the launcher to those applications do:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "`cat myfavs.txt`"

Icon size and other Unity settings are stored in this gconf file:

 ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/%gconf.xml
