A Carafe of Ubuntu
As the title suggests, my desktop icons don't show on the desktop after I upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04. Also, I can't right-click on the desktop - no menu appears. Everything else seems OK though. What could it be?
If I open Nautilus, my desktop icons and files are still there in my Desktop folder.

Good Journey !
Make sure the Advanced Settings/ Gnome Tweak tool is installed . There is a new version in 12.10 for Gnome 3.6 .I don't know if it would have been replaced during the upgrade since I did a clean installation . That is where the desktop icons and nautilus control desktop settings are.

hey guys i found a solution and it worked for me just fine
from terminal type this :
unity --reset-icons
to return UNITY interface to original state, type:
unity --reset
to return COMPISE to its original state, type:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 unity --reset
again type this command for the last time:
unity --reset
then log out or restart the system .
that's it... hope that would work
