Thanks! I de-selected desktop, pulled the taskbar back down and
re-selected desktop (which I like to keep handy).
Before,adding desktop just showed the word "desktop" and a couple of
arrows (>>) that I could click on to display the list of all the
desktop items. I didn't realize that I could click/hold the little
area of dots just to the left of "desktop" and drag left to display
the items that mysteriously appeared. Not quite sure how I
accidentally made it happen! All's cool now!
