Ubuntu 17.10 (xorg), gnome 3.26.2.
After installing 17.10, there are no icons on the desktop. I am unable to add anything to the desktop.
In the tweak tool all five switches for icons on the desktop are on.
In dconf I see this:
org.gnome.nautilus.desktop volumes-visible true
org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
org.gnome.desktop.draw-background true
Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? I find nothing online that will help me.
I ended up refreshing my HOME directory, cleaning out all kinds of old "junk" from it, paying special attention to cleaning out the .config directory. I also created a new user so I could get a fresh copy of the .bashrc and .profile files. This appears to have solved this (and another) problem.
