Hi,
I have been using Linux Mint 13 XFCE since almost a year now with no big issue until today.
My desktop became suddenly black and the icons of the files saved in my desktop has disappeared. Only the panel is visible.
I didn't find how to solve this issue and would appreciate if someone can help.
Thanks,
