I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I was trying to put different wallpapers to different sides of the cube by compiz. I played around with some settings. My wallpaper changed but, now I can not right click on my desktop. I also can not see the icons on my desktop. So I uninstalled compiz. The cube is gone, but the right click problem still persists. Can anyone help?

did you change any settings in "nautilus" maybe the one that says "show desktop"?

go to the terminal and type this:

gconf-editor
when the Nautilus window opens on the left navigate to: apps > nautilus > preferences:
After you select “preferences,” look on the list on the right until you see the option “show_desktop” and make sure is cliked.

Ihave the same problem, I run the gconf-editor, the show_desktop option is marked, but no desktop, I must do ALT+F2 and launch "nautilus" to get the desktop icons, but after restar, the same issue :(:(

I'm stuck :(:(

Any idea?

Thankssss!!
