I ran the following commands:

gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'false'
sudo gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'false'

and I was no longer able to access the files on my Desktop.
What I was trying to do was enable the multiple wallpapers on my Desktop Cube, but it didn't work.
How do I fix it?
I have already run

gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'
sudo gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'

in an attempt at reversing what I had done, but it didn't work.

I think I see your problem here, try running it like this:

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'
sudo gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop 'true'

It worked, but now I can't use the Compiz Wallpaper feature.
