I have the same - fresh install of Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 8200. My Windows partitions don't get desktop icons, and the desktop theme looks rather old-fashioned.
In my case it started misbehaving after I changed the login screen from the default 'human' to 'happy Gnome with browser' - maybe just coincidence.
I never saw the problem with Edgy, and although I only ever ran Feisty on this PC for a day before changing to Gutsy, I never saw the problem there either.
