Sounds like Nautilus is no longer running, since it takes care of drawing
the icons and whatnot on the desktop. Have you restarted X recently, or
did it just stop working while you left it up? If it's the latter, I
would suspect that Nautilus simply crashed, and logging out of X and
logging back in would likely restore your desktop. If however you have
already done that, and Nautilus doesn't start up automatically, the
cause is something else...
