[Bug 1429670] [NEW] Desktop reverts to defaults, can't be changed

 

Public bug reported:

All of a sudden my launcher icons, wallpaper image etc, reverted to
default, and when I "unlock from launcher" on the defaults, they
disappear after about a second, and then reappear when I tried to re-
arrange the icon order.

I think there's perhaps something screwy with gconf (? - isn't that
where the personal launcher app list is?) because another setting went
away and can't be restored (I use caps lock as another control).
However, I don't know how to test this or where to look for logs, and
the *symptoms* turn up in Unity.

If anyone can help with places to look for diagnostics etc., I'd
appreciate it.  Thanks.
