further to this. I have this problem (just recently appeared on a lenny machine).
the first obvious problem is no desktop icons, then no window when 'home' or 'desktop' or whatever are selected under 'places' I have noticed it is a problem on one user's desktop but not on another's (i'm not sure the important difference - could be gnome theme? language?) Also, I have noticed on the affected desktop, certain selections of the applications menu cause what looks the same as a metacity restart (all windows, panels (all but the desktop background) vanish and the screen redraws itself.) This happens for the affected user's desktop for the 'accesories', 'games' and 'other' submenus for not any others... no idea why. -AA.
