Comment 28 for bug 1650977

Same problem for me. I have no issues with 18.0, but on 18.1 with a dual monitor setup all desktop icons except those for mounted drives disappear after logout and logging back in. Like others, the problem does appear to be related to switching the primary display. Graphics card is an Nvidia GTX 970, however the problem can be replicated simply booting from an 18.1 live image and using software rendering.
