I use Gnome Classic in 12.04 64-bit and Bumblebee Nvidia Optimus driver.

The thing is that all settings are set for them to appear on the desktop, both in Ubuntu Tweak and Gconf

I didnt have any issues at all

Problem appeared after installing Cinammon and MATE. I logged once to see their interface but then switched back to Gnome Classic.

Some times they'll appear but then they disappear during the next login.

I've tried unity --reset once. They appeared during next login but after that they disappeared.

While they do appear on the location bar, next to the applications, I'd like them to appear on Desktop as well. they appear randomly


I also use Compiz

any ideas?
