At least you have a reason for it happening, I lost all my desktop 
settings for no apparent reason, all I did was reboot, since then 
everything seems to be OK.

If you still have those settings backed up try and copy them over again 
and see if they will stick this time, just make sure you do it as user, 
not superuser.
