Description Colin Adams 2002-11-26 18:57:52 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
After some mouse troubles (now sorted), I have lost the icons on the desktop (on
the left edge). Indeed I appear to have lost Nautilus completely, as I cannot
bring up a menu (New Window, etc.), nor start Nautilius from the Gnome Menu
(Home directory). How can I repair the situation?
Here is part of my .xsession-errors file:
Error: no ID for constraint linkend: part2-1.
XRef to nonexistent id: part2-1
Error: no ID for constraint linkend: part2-1.

After re-vooting the machine (for an unconnected reason), the desktop re-appeared.
