gnome desktop mishandles text information in desktop TXT files

[Susan Cragin]

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

A very small bug...
I keep a bunch of TXT files on the desktop. Naturally, this creates icons for those files. Well, normally, the Ubuntu desktop displays a portion of the text inside each icon box.
It stopped doing that, just about an hour ago.
In addition, random samples of text from those same TXT files show up elsewhere on the desktop.
Very odd.
In addition, the command Take Screenshot has stopped working, so I can't show you what happens.
