I wasn't getting any errors on the console and there's no .xsession-errors file. I start GNOME via startx (/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session in .xinitrc). Starting Nautilus via a terminal only gave .gtkrc-2.0:2: Unable to find include file: ".gtkrc-2.0-scrollbar_cog", which I was getting in my previous setup also, I believe this is related to a theme somehow. Anyway, this afternoon I crashed Nautilus by having a window open that was pointing to a directory and then removing the directory via a terminal. This caused Nautilus to crash, I clicked restart and my Desktop's back! I got out of GNOME and back in and it seems to persist.
