Get back desktop icons

I am using Linux Deepin 10.06, a Chinese community distribution based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, using xfce4 as its desktop environment. For some reason, my desktop icons have disappeared. I found a lot of solution like going to

Settings > Settings Manager > Desktop

and selecting

Allow xfce to manage the desktop

However I did not find the option at all. This post mentioned xfdesktop. I tried the command, and the icons came back. There seem to be a lot of people who have problems with their desktop "disappearing" on xfce. Maybe the command xfdesktop can help you get back your xfce desktop icons.
