My bet is its the video driver thats having issues. if you want to make sure your files are still there do a ctrl-alt-F1 log in and you should still see all your files

I would try to reinstall your video drivers or reset your X config, I'm blanking on the command to do that search the forums for x.org config issues that should give you some clues

since it looks like you've got an ATI card and your on Hardy, give envyng a try,
sudo apt-get install envyng-gkt
from the command line you can try envyng -t and follow the prompts

it worked by sudo dpkg --configure -a
