I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 LTS and for some reason the default desktop icons (Trash, File System, and Home) have disappeared? Anyone have any ideas where they went and how to get them back?

Can't say what's the reason for disappearing icons.
But If you want them back here is what you do :-

  1. Download Ubuntu-Tweak from here
  2. Install by double clicking.
  3. Open it from the Dash.
  4. Goto Tweaks button(3rd from top left) -> Desktop -> Desktop icons.
  5. Now enable desktop icons and choose the icons you want to show on the desktop.

OR
use the following commands.

$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop home-icon-visible true
$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop computer-icon-visible true
$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop trash-icon-visible true
