Lock screen elements & Wallpaper frozen

Question

I have finally made the switch from Windows to Ubuntu and now have a problem:

The elements shown in the lockscreen on boot (Ubuntu logo in the middle and watermark in bottom left corner) stay there even when I'm entering desktop and I cannot change the wallpaper anymore.

How can I remove them again? They weren't there at first, but after updating Ubuntu with Update Center, the problem occurred.

How can I fix it?

The problem was I installed Nemo and since then it was handling the desktop. I disabled it at some point, leaving no other application to handle it because standard file manager was already uninstalled. I made Nemo again the desktop handler.

For a way to enable nemo to handle the desktop like normally nautilus does, check this answer
