I encounter the same problem. A new user on my machine is not affected.
The problem with my account just started a few days after the upgrade (I was playing with deskop effects and the proprietray ATI drivers as well with gconf-editor for the panel settings). Before that, it worked fine. I tried deleting my .nautilus, .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome, .gnome2pivate and .gnome. Didn't have any effect. Find my .xsession-errors attatched. Let me know if yo need further information. Thank you! ** Attachment added: ".xsession-errors" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14469116/.xsession-errors -- 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
