Public bug reported: Google chrome crashed. After that, the Ubuntu desktop remained unusable. The screenshot shows what the desktop looked like.
Other programs worked, and I could switch to the other 3 "virtual desktops" (if that's how they are called). But there was no way to see the first desktop again. I couldn't see and hence access icons on the desktop.
