I left my laptop on overnight cause I was re-downloading XUbuntu, and my kitten got up on my desk for a cookie I had up here while I was asleep, and when I woke up, the icons looked like that. :/ Not sure what she did, but she was most likely walking on the keyboard. >_< Can anyone help?

-Settings button Visual Effects tab
-"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the Desktop"
Hope that helps.

This thing is known to have billions of reasons...one thing...the background needs better be jpg and make sure active desktop is turned off it the above doesn't work.

The most common reason I see for that is, as Patrick said, active desktop content is enabled. See if going to your desktop properties (Right click > Properties > Desktop tab), clicking "Customize Desktop," going to the Web tab and disabling it will fix it.
