I saw those. I was wondering how you know they're there if they're not
visible in the screenshot. But now I remember mutter/gnome-shell will
clip each screen so generally nothing will appear in those black
offscreen areas even in screenshots.
This issue might be caused by the absence of any screen in the usual
top-left corner (0,0). Regardless, if this is Ubuntu 18.04 then the
desktop icons are provided by nautilus-desktop, which is not being
developed any more, and not available in later Ubuntu versions :/
