Sounds like you went to a different activity. If you click the bean in the upper right, one of the options there should be "Activities". Or you can right-click on the desktop and select Activities from the resulting context menu.

This should open up a panel showing you possible activities (or you can create/remove them here too). There should be a default activity called "Desktop" (on my Kubuntu system at least). Click this and you should be back to normal.

You can start/pause an activity by clicking on it. You can remove it by clicking the little icon in the upper right of the activity. Or you can edit details about the activity by clicking the wrench in the bottom right.

HTH.

right corner of the screen) I shouldn't have and now my lovely desk top
has been replace by a blue desk top with many icons (Contacts,
Bookmarks, ..., Utilities) plus my original task bar.  I've tried using
System Settings to return to my old desk top but I've been unsuccessful.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to return to my old, beloved
desk top.
