hi, In Ubuntu 9.04, the desktop icons are hidden by default.
Press Alt + F2 and type gconf-editor in the dialog box and Click Run to start the GNOME Configuration Editor. Now you need to Go to the apps/nautilus/desktop from left menu and On the right hand side,you need to check the following options trash_icon_visible computer_icon_visible home_icon_visible also you can try 'Ubuntu Tweak' to show the icons, if you dont want to mess with the above stuff.
