knoppix desktop icons disappear

[phita]

hi just downloaded knoppix 6.4.4 live cd.
When i boot from it the desktop eventually appears but every icon starts to disappear untill im left only with the background and taskbar being shown.
i can still click on icons on the task bar but when the windows open up i get just a blank window.
So everything seems functional but i cant see any of it.

Im running intel i7 940 with intel DX58SO,
4gb ram and nvidia gtx 295 graphics card.
