x-nautilus-desktop. Is My machine compromised???

My system froze for a moment and then when I opened nautilus this was showing there. here's a screenshot. IS my system Compromised or accessed in some way. I'm running ubuntu 12.10.

I would guess that there was some kind of hiccup and nautilus has shown you its internal name for the desktop folder.
I don't think that your machine is compromised (and I still wonder why this is always the first thing that comes to people's mind).
Just reboot and you should be fine.

I'd be more concerned with Pimple or Bump on Ball Sack.
I'd call it a "hiccup" also.
