Hey guys, I've got a problem with my xubuntu install. Everything was working fine until recently, when I lost my desktop. I no longer have any icons, but when I go to the desktop folder, I have all of my files there. I also can't drag any files onto the desktop. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I recently installed Automatix, but I don't think that could have caused it.
go into your xfce settings and you should find settings similar to quot;Allow XFCE to manage my desktopquot; or close to it. Check that box and you should get your desktop back. I'm at work and i can't tell you exactly where int he menus the setting is, but its fairly obvious once you find it.
Awesome, that fixed it. Thanks for thge help. Now I can get back to enjoying my laptop. Quick question, do you know why the nm-applet starts several instances when I start up the computer?
No clue. Due to my obtuse wireless configuration, I don't use network gui's. (I assume thats what nm-applet is anyway). I'm also using 6.10 edgy, which doesn't include network manager by default.

Nope. But I do know a way to solve it.
