Restoring desktop in Karmic

[Rafiq Hajat]

Dear Spaceghost
you replied:
As per your window manager, is this a recurring issue?
for a simple one-time fix you can run this
metacity --replace 2>&1
or for compiz
compiz --replace 2>&1
or emerald
emerald --replace 2>&1

Nope, it's just happened once - after upgrdaing to Karmic from Hardy
and I haven't managed to recover yet.
 I'll try this and revert in due course. But thanks for the assistance.
