[Tomas <863137@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

After:
* freshly installing Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2
* removing (only games, nothing relevant I believe) and
* installing some packages (current NVIDIA proprietary drivers for my 8600M GT, otherwise nothing relevant)
* updating packages (around 400 (!))
* rebooting
the desktop seems to be displaced (see attached screenshot).

Stange enough the rest of the applications I'm running is fully
functional, i.e. I am reporting this bug in a perfectly normal full-
screen Firefox.

I recall that in Ubuntu 11.04 stable I would sometimes get a similar
issue after connecting an external monitor, but that could be fixed by
changing any of the settings in nvidia-config and reapplying. That
doesn't seem to work for this problem, however.

What I've tried so far is to reinstall the NVIDIA drivers, but this
didn't help.

I've been able to fix the problem temporarily after logging in by
killing nautilus and restarting it (pkill nautilus; nautilus &). It then
works until the next boot.

I'm new to the whole bug-filing thing, so please let me know if you need
anything else.
