A. Before I upgrade the nvidia Linux driver, everything was normal. All programs worked fine. Desktop display was OK.
B. After I upgraded the nvidia Linux driver, the icon display on the desktop was not correct. All icons on the panel and menu bars became small empty boxes. Error message dialog boxes popped up with the message like
'Failed to load image <file name>.png Details: Fatal error reading PNG image files : zlib version error'
Run ldconfig as root in a terminal. Have you rebooted the machine? The Nvidea Readme sejust to do this. I have never had these problems with there drivers since beta. But had a plethora of problems with the DKMS ones. I am just happy they even suppport the card I use on this machine, because it is not supported in Windows.
I still can run programs by clicking the icon locations. Most programs run correctly. Yesterday I found ghost viewer failed to open pdf file.
Curiosity: If I log in as superuser, there are not problems. All icons are displayed correctly. Ghost viewer read pdf files.
On your regular user account you may not have a file association with the file your opening. Right click on the file and say open with. Or open with another application and select the one you want to associate with the file....

Ok, lets start from the begining with what happened. Describe the problem as best as you can.
A. Before
B. After
Paste you system log file in the mail /var/log/ messages\ after you boot into root and then into you user account, just to be sure to catch all errors.
