Re: Help! My gnome desktop has been cleared!

Dennis G. Wicks:

I rebooted and my desktop has been cleaned off. All the
icons for the computer, my home dir, mounted drives and
some launchers I had set up are gone.

Are you using Gnome? Then it sounds like nautilus either isn't running
or has been configured not to manage the desktop anymore. In the former
case, just open a nautilus window and check whether your icons have
returned. Otherwise, run gconf-editor and make sure that
/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop is checked.
