Comment 3 for bug 1085714

It affects me and for me, I suspect it might have something to do with the location of the icons.

The reason is as follows:
-I'm using an extended desktop setup with a external 24" Dell monitor, in addition to my laptop screen. If I were to "mirror displays" the icons appear but when I choose an extended display, the icons disappear.
-To experiment, I first set the display mode to "mirror" then I'll drag the icons to the middle of the middle of the laptop (and mirrored) screens
-I then changed my display mode to extended display, with the 24" monitor set at 1920x1080. The icons will remain on the middle of the laptop screen.
-If I were to change right click on the desktop and sort the icons, they will disappear again.
