Files and folders absolutely disappear from viewing on Desktop folder(gnome/KDE).

[Luis Maceira]

I cannot see any older or new file/folder in the Desktop folder,this began withGnome but I installed KDE and the same happens.This does not happen with thefile browsers in Gnome/KDE or the Terminal(bash),so this is a GUI problem.I suspect it began after a crash with Power Management and the computer putto sleep(the computer could not return back from sleep and I needed to turn it off,curiously this only happens with Ubuntu on an external USB HDD-with Ubuntu on the internal SSD only a black screen with some warnings appears for 2/3 seconds and the computer right after returns normally from sleep-).
Note: I can temporalily(one session) see again the files and folders in Desktop folder,with a trick(desktop switch to netbook mode,and then back to classicmode)but if I turn the computer off in the next session the problem remains the same.Perhaps I will fill a bug report if no one knows how to solve the problem.
Dell Mini9 netbook,Ubuntu UNR 9.04 on an internal SSD drive and on an external HDD.

                                                      Thanks.
