Nautilus doesn't display files on my desktop

[Tomasz Jankowski]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I log on my session (I use GNOME) Nautilus doesn't work on my desktop. I see only wallpaper, but i don't see files on it. On the other hand nautilus works fine if i open directories from "Places" menu.

Additional information:
$ nautilus --version
GNOME nautilus 2.23.92
