It has nothing to do with dragging.

I am discovering things now:

When I shutdown or restart the system through the cairo button, all
seems well
When I however shutdown or restart through the keyshortcuts (ctrl-alt-r
to restart and ctrl-alt-s to shutdown) starting sudo shutdown with the
respective parameters, icons seem to disappear.

Watch both pictures attached - the writer icon is  gone

Cheers

Frank
