Ubuntu 14.04. I have 2 user accounts. This problems appears only for one of it. I have no more icons on my desktop, neither the launcher, just the desktop picture. Right click still works, so I can access system settings. When using gnome, everything works perfect.

Can you provide a bit more information please. What were you doing before this happened - software? installing? tweaking? system details? etc. etc. Thank You – Fernhill Linux Project Jul 27 '14 at 08:23

It happened suddenly, while normal usage. The PC was shut down, then for one user account that strange thing happened. For other user accounts it works OK. – Dumitru Cristian Jul 27 '14 at 09:44

Try changing your screen resloution in system settings to a lower one than currently selected.
I've had such a problem before when using a projector, that could only handle 720p. The settings were 1080p by default and the "overflow" was just cut off, so I could only see the center of the output.

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
Then when you get the [OK], switch back with Ctrl+Alt+F7.
