Desktop icons gone, desktop unresponsive

Description

Occasionally, the desktop icons will disappear and the desktop will become unresponsive i.e. right-clicking on the desktop does not display the context menu.

Solution

Restart the desktop session.

  • xfdesktop
  • Log out and log back in

Sometimes the desktop session cache needs to be cleared. This removes all running instants of the desktop and restarts.

  • rm -R ~/.cache/sessions/*
  • Log out and log back in
