Good evening. I have just updated to Ubuntu 9.10. For a moment it all looked pretty good. Started up, programs are running fine, but - why is my background picture gone? I tried to set a new wallpaper - nothing, the background remains black. Even if I am only using one color for the desktop, nothing changes.
Also, the icons and programs that I had on the desktop do no longer appear. The files in ~ / desktop are definitely there and can be opened if I am in this folder. Just the desktop remains dark. The panels are working fine, both the top and bottom one work as it should be.
I already deleted .gconf * and .gnome2 * which has not helped. I start Ubuntu in safe mode and the wallpaper and desktop icons are there. Even if I add a new user everything is all right. So this must be a problem with my user. But where? Help urgently required...
