It worked for another user. After a reboot, everything looks fine. I
did not mention that all my desktop icons lso went missing and the
right-click on desktop was not working or showing a menu.
I guess meta-gnome is the natural choice for anything broken with
gnome, when you don't know which package is the problem.
sorry about that.
The reason I opened a bug report and not mailed the forum was because
I want to emphasize that such things should never happen *especially
when a user has not tinkered with any settings*. Imagine this for a
corporate desktop when you login to do some critical urgent work and
all your icons and desktop links dissappear. The Issue is not about
if there was a workaround that resolves the matter by asking a few
questions on the forum (that may involve hours to research for an
unfamiliar user, or being forced to reboot) . A user should never have
to encounter such a basic problem. I think most people will
appreciate it if no matter what is broken, the desktop and basic
functions always work.
I run Ubuntu 8.0.4 Gnome 2.22.3.
Thanks for your time, and I hope something can be done about this.
PS: What is the correct package for this? I mean which of the 100+
packages do I start researching to locate where the fault lies? (mind
you I was a www.linuxfromscratch.org user in 2003-2005 and I am not
averse to it :) ). And honestly do you think a windows user migrating
to Linux will research this? ( wink ;) [ all in good humor] )
Cheers

thanks for the report, does it works with another new user? which
version of ubuntu are you running? and btw just a quick answer, where
did you read that meta-gnome2 is the package for filling bugs about that
in ubuntu? we are getting a few bugs here which have nothing to do with
the package and it would be nice to see where people is reading that,
thanks you.
