Ubuntu 11.04
Where to find the symbol for Shutdown & position it on the bar top right?

Installed Ubu 11 on my sister's Dell Inspiron 1721 (after destriping the hdds into two seperate hdds of 160 gb each, don't think this is the issue, i previously installed windows xp on on of them and it was fine, if a little sluggish.)
After install, smoke test and it fires up right to the point of drawing the background and telling me wifi networks are available - close but no cigar -
The desktop icons/startbar/anythingatall don't appear. Just the mouse cursor.

I ran a system update and now my desktop is blank, all the folders that appear on the side are gone, how can I get them back?
Thanks
Alan
