Somehow you've toggled the Nautilus setting "Use Home directory as Desktop" Press Alt-F2 to bring up the Run Application dialogue box, type gconf-editor and click Run. Browse to apps/nautilus/preferences and clear the tickbox " desktop_is_home_dir " You will have to log out and back in to see the effect. If you have ubuntu-tweak installed it's also present as a preference in there.
