[Solved] Desktop AWOL

[Jonathan Allen]

The answer on this one is:

1. use the Configuration Editor to tell nautilus not to show the
      desktop

2. log out and back in again

3. use the Configuration Editor to tell nautilus *to* show the
      desktop

4. reboot

When you next log in, the desktop, icons, folders and so on are all
back again.  BHS!

Hi Jonathan. I did mention from my Googling, that Nautilus may be involved, 
but not being a Gnome user, couldn't give any further advice.

Nice to see that you've resolved the problem, but I wonder what you were doing 
at the time, when all the icons, etc disappeared. Do you remember which apps 
you were using at the time?

Anyway, I suppose non of this matters as long as your FC2 is up and running 
again as before.

Nigel.
