[Wolves] help... my desktop has left me......

[leo sandhu]

Ok guys,

I have looked in ~/.gnome-desktop and while I fail to recall its previous 
content it does look a bit sparse of anything looking like a deskptop icon.

Also the command gmc at prompt returns the following message:
Gtk WARNING **: cannot run display

As it looks like something (or one) has caused ~/.gnome-desktop to wipe, how 
could I reinstate it and maybe prevent re-occurances?
