Yesterday, my desktop icons disappeared. I think I was trying to abort a slow-loading image in Mozilla, but I don't really know what I did. Everything else seems to be working fine, just no desktop icons. Would anyone have any suggestions on how I get them back?


Assuming you're running GNOME...

Check to see if nautilus crashed:

$ ps auwx | grep nautilus

...if you don't see any tasks associated with Nautilus, it's probably
gone, and your desktop with it (Nautilus is responsible for drawing the
desktop icons).  Logging in/out should fix it.  Or you can start
nautilus manually.


The ps | grep command gives me this:

$ ps -ef | grep -i nautilus
andrew 8522 1 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default3
andrew 8803 1 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default3
andrew 12807 1 0 10:49 ? 00:00:00 nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default3
andrew 13184 13147 0 12:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep -i nautilus


And I forgot to mention that I had logged out and back in. Any more suggestions?

Thanks!

Andrew
