i was update my laptop (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T41) from alpha to beta-karmic. and i have the same "problem" - no desktop/background.
if i disable compiz - i have my desktop(folders/files) and also a wallpaper. dmesg say:
[ 14.809402] Linux agpgart interface v0.103 [ 15.055296] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: Intel 855PM Chipset [ 15.070235] agpgart-intel 0000:00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xd0000000 [ 15.506587] shpchp: Standard Hot Plug PCI Controller Driver version: 0.4
my gcard on laptop:
* ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 with 32MB or * ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 32MB
this chip can not display "normal" compiz settings without problems. now, without compiz the laptop works fine.
