I have traced this down to the fact that nautilus is not launched when I log on to gnome. I used ps -A | grep naut to show this.
* Running nautilus manually through a terminal window shows my Desktop icons. * Adding nautilus to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications causes nautilus to launch and display my Desktop icons. * I created another user, and nautilus launches when that user logs on, thus showing her Desktop icons. * I also updated to 9.04RC on another computer (my laptop). Logging on launches nautilus, and the Desktop icons show. So there must be a configuration file that got borked when I upgraded my desktop computer (not to be confused with the Desktop directory) to 9.04RC.
