If things are seriously messed up you can close idle, rename the 
configuration directory ~/.idlerc (the ~ is the placeholder for your user 
directory) and then start idle again. This should create a new ~/.idlerc 
directory with all defaults restored.

If everything works to your satisfaction you can delete the renamed 
directory.
