After 3 reinstalls on my Dell Dimension 2400, I can only see the desktop background and the cursor. Nothing else appears. I have tried removing, redownloading and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop.

I have also tried: sudo apt-get remove compiz sudo apt-get remove compix-core exit

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I have seen similar with my desktop icons disappearing. Try running 

nautilus -q

This seemed to help bring mine back.
