Add another user and see if the icons are getting displayed there
properly. If that works, then your current user gconf settings are
somehow screwed up.

Good news and bad news, the good news is that when I created a new
user, the desktop icons appeared as expected and therefore the problem
is in my gnome and/or nautilus settings; the bad news is that the
problem is somwhere in my account settings.<br>
<br>
The problem is not with .gconf by itself. I have renamed the directory
and rebooting did not bring back my desktop icons. Therefore, the
problem should be in another set of configuration, probably in another
gnome hidden directory. Hopefully, the problem is in a single hidden
directory and not a combination of hidden directories.<br>
<br>
Is there any documentation that would help me understand the Gnome
configuration and hidden directories?<br>
<br>
Note that the gtweakui-nautilus shows that nautilus is configured to
handle the desktop display when I log in. Toggling that setting to off
and back to on restores the desktop icons.<br>
