First, make sure you have the ubuntu desktop fully installed by opening a terminal and executing the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

Now, execute the following commands to reset unity and compiz (remember, unity is a compiz plugin; if you disable the plugin, you disable unity):

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
nohup setsid unity

Your screen will flash and it might take few moments for things to return to normal. If you want to, you can go ahead and reboot instead.

From my experience, Ubuntu freezes only when it is about to have nothing opened. To fix that I first opened terminal (Control+ALT+T) then opened the software center (don't minimize anything yet!!!) then I got the screenlets app. The I opened screenlets, chose the one I liked and clicked "start/stop" and "start on startup" tickboxes on the bottom left of the screenlets app. Then I close everything and the screenlet was on the desktop. Since the screenlet was opened Ubuntu didn't freeze, since there was a thing opened.

Most likely the problem is nautilus crashing as nautilus is responsible for the desktop items. Try out the following solutions if anything works out :

Try removing the nautilus config files

rm -rf ~/.nautilus

If it doesn't work out , remove nautilus open terminal

sudo apt-get purge nautilus-open-terminal

If nothing works, until the fix comes around, just open nautilus before minimizing the last open window. I hope this helps
