[SOLVED] ALL Gnome Desktop Icons are gone

hi

After squeeze update using aptitude full-upgrade on my Toshiba notebook ALL Gnome Desktop Icons are gone.

Code:

# gdm --version
GDM 2.20.9
# uname -a
Linux toshiba 2.6.30-2-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 26 01:16:22 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

but in the Konsole I can see these Desktop Icons:

Code:

toshiba:~# cd Desktop
toshiba:~/Desktop# ls
gftp-1.desktop		iceweasel-1.desktop  reportbug	    wireshark.desktop
gftp.desktop		iceweasel.desktop    reportbug~
gnome-terminal.desktop	kadu.desktop	     skype.desktop
gtkvncviewer.desktop	new file~	      windows

Has someone the same problem?

It's the known nautilus bug.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545254

Nautilus exits and stops drawing icons on the desktop.

Also check gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > desktop if something has set nautilus not to draw desktop icons, or if it is started by gnome-session with the "--no-desktop parameter".

THX, I've installed nautilus again and now it works well.
