Hello all,

After issuing the reboot command on my CentOS server while being logged in through VNC and after the machine has actually rebooted, I get a blank desktop (no icons and not my default wall paper) when logging into X, whether I'm on the console or logging in through VNC.

If I go into my Desktop folder in my home directory, I see all the appropriate desktop files (but I don't see the icons on my actual desktop). When I go to the Preferences->Desktop menu, the desktop preferences application hangs. My toolbars, and default xclock at startup are all there, it's just that my desktop is a solid blue wallpaper (not my default CentOS wallpaper) and I have no icons on it.

I guess I corrupted the desktop when I rebooted through VNC but I don't know how to get it back.

Is there a way of retrieving this without having to delete this user and creating a new one?

Thanks,

Michael
