I had been using Ubuntu for a couple of years now. I upgraded my antiquated work machine (not to mention the low resources) to 10.04 LTS last week. With great pain I setup NVIDIA drivers and dual monitors. But today morning, apparently Canonical had released an update for nvidia-current package, which screwed up my previous settings.
The result - no icons on desktop and right-click refuses to work on desktop. But I was able to view the files that were on desktop, through Places->Home->Desktop.
Googled around to see if I could find a solution for this, when I stumbled upon this ubuntu forums post.
The solution basically, was to `sudo apt-get install gtweakui`. And then System->Preferences->gTweakUI-Nautilus. Then check 'Use nautilus to draw desktop'.
If you find it already checked, uncheck it. Restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and then re-check the option. It worked for me.
Until we meet again,
