When I start my computer and login the desktop icons do not show. However, when I open the desktop folder in my file manager, they appear. How can I make them show right from the start?

I use Nemo as file manager, Unity is my desktop environment and the whole thing runs on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal.

I think the problem is that Nemo doesn't start automatically.
To check this, as soon as you log in open "system monitor" and control if "Nemo" is one of the active processes.
If not you should go to "Applications boot", or something similar, and add an entry, call it "Nemo" and fill in as a command "nemo".
