I had the same problem also after an upgrade to hardy. I think I fixed it, I've done 2 thinks and I don't know which one made if finally...
1. ~/.metacity/sessions created a file named default0.ms containing following lines: <metacity_session id="default"> </metacity_session> I've done this because of following line in the .xsession-errors: Fenstermanager-Warnung:Gespeicherte Sitzungsdatei ~/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms konnte nicht gelesen werden: Failed to open file '~/.metacity/sessions/default0.ms': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden 2. renamed the ~/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml so nautilus had to create a new one... I had to rearrange some icons, but this doesn't care I guess :) I haven't had the problem since 2 log-offs and 2 full reboots. Hope it works in future. -- Nautilus not showing the desktop icons & wallpaper on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
