Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

This may be a bug in Nautilus
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10159042

Twice already, the desktop has switched to showing this behavior:

The desktop does not show any files or folders. When I try to drag a
file there from Nautilus the "drop" of drag-and-drop fails.

It is  not accepting any input -- e.g., if I right click it, I get no
context menu.

Yet the ~/Desktop folder appears fine in Nautilus; there are some files
and folders there; and I can move new ones there.

I ran gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop

The checkbox was checked, i.e. value true. I unchecked it; then
rechecked it.  The problem went away.

The problem occurred twice. I don't know what caused it.\
