You will find the settings in gconf-editor. If you don't know how to run
it press Alt+F2, write "gconf-editor" and hit the Run button. You will find
check-boxes for *_icon_visible under apps, nautilus, desktop.

@Øyvind Jensen,
Using gconf-editor did the trick,thanks for your reply
Basically follow these directions (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-the-trash-can-icon-to-your-ubuntu-desktop/) but on the last step uncheck the boxes instead of checking them.
Thanks@SirGrant the info given on howtogeek was the other way around :) "adding instead of deleting"...but however useful
