Comment 1 for bug 1650977

I have this same problem as #1 after upgrading from 18 to 18.1. Another way I found to fix the icons not showing up is to open Nemo and cut/paste from Desktop -> some other folder -> back to Desktop. Icons not on the primary monitor do show up though.

THOU_SHALT_NOT_MODIFY.sh on the left screen always appears, while everything on the middle (primary) monitor does not initially appear after logging in.
