I downloaded Raspbian Jessie (with Pixel) from raspberrypi.org and installed it to my SD-Card via the dd command like specified in the installation guide.
Now I wanted to use the GUI, so after booting I typed in startx.
But the GUI doesn't work properly. It doesn't show any icons or even the default background.
Here is a picture:
The mouse works and I can open the programs in the bar above the cursor (but I don't even know how to access system settings or anything in a state like that).
How do I resolve this and properly start the GUI?
Setup: Raspberry Pi 2 B Raspberry Pi Display V 1.1
Update:
My current hypothesis is, that either the image was corrupt or the SD-Card wasn't properly flashed.
I downloaded the image again and used dd with bs=1M instead of bs=4M and now it works as expected.
