You've likely lost or closed your 'iconbox'. I've done it myself and
only figured out one way to 'fix' the problem. What I do is this:

Exit E and X
cd ~/.enlightenment
edit the file ...e_session-XXXXXX.snapshots.0
Look for something like this:

NEW: _IB_3.Enlightenment_IconBox
(I think the first part of that is somewhat random, the _IB_3 part, that
is)

Delete that line and all lines up to the next 'NEW' entry. Repeat for
anymore 'iconbox' entries you find.
Restart X and E and use E's root menus to create a new iconbox.
