Hi,
I had a somewhat similar problem due to a corrupt browser install, and again when I renamed a thumb drive without unmounting it first (which is SOP in Windows...). I had a total black screen regarding wallpaper and icons, but all elements lit up when I opened, such as the Menu and all programs.
I found this solution for ubuntu which worked famously.
Open a terminal and simply run following command and then log out:
[b] rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions
