For some strange reason, when I logon now, Gnome doesn't display my desktop icons... it displays my Panels but not the desktop icons. Also, nautilus just won't start when I try to start it...

Everything's fine when I login as root... I wonder if this has somethig to d0 with permissions set by SELinux or something?

Login as root in a failsafe terminal and kill all the processes related
to your user:

ps -u <username>
kill <pid>
(you may have to do kill -kill <pid> for some processes)

Then you can login again as a normal user, with all your icons and
nautilus.
That will do the trick, but why is this happening  - maybe others will
explain... ;)

I am going to reply to this as a hind thought. Yesterday I updated my laptop and when I went to login there were no desktop icons. A reboot seemed to fix the problem. Login as root was okay.

Hum?
