I've encountered this same bug in Jaunty and judging from posts on Ubunutuforums I am not the only one running into the issue. Simply put, if one clicks on a Desktop icon all icons on the Desktop disappear. Also, clicking on the Desktop itself will no longer bring up a menu.
The panel functions continue to work. In my case, Awn continues to work. However, to retrieve the Desktop icons I need to reboot. The problem appears randomly. Sometimes the system will run for an entire session and all is well. Other times, it crashes on the first click of a Desktop icon. dbus-launch nautilus works correctly System -amd64, dual monitors, NVIDIA 8500 GTS, Jaunty 9.04. This is not a laptop. -- nautilus disappear desktop icons and freeze open folders on jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334806 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
