Title:
  Desktop appears to be displaced after login

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
