Background lost - some service not starting?

Hi

My computer just crash. Don't know why... When it boot up again the background picture and the desktop icons were gone and I just lose 1 workplace (now only 3 possible workplaces - used to be 4, right?).
I'm pretty much sure that it's a service/daemon not starting... but not sure what to do?

My system is running Salix XFCE out-of-the-box, no changes since installation (23. May 2011), apart from the normal updates and LibreOffice install.
No tweak was ever made to the original config. Never fell the need :)

Help welcome. Thank you

Probably xfdesktop crashed for some reason. Maybe you ran out of RAM. Try Alt-F2, type xfdesktop and see what happens. If it works, make sure you log out and save your session.
