Bug Description
Some websites other than launchpad let you upload files, and when I browsed files to attach to those sites, I noticed that this rather ugly icon appears. I don't know if this occurs before attaching a file or afterwards, but I'm pretty sure that this process causes this icon to appear. You can move it to the trash, but it appears again occasionally in the same attachment process, maybe if some kind of update reinstalls the File Manager - or some other component. I'm not sure...

Thanks for your report! I've noticed it too, but I couldn't nail down the precise conditions under which it occurs.
As you can see in a duplicate bug, I've patched special handling for desktop folder out of two components but it appears that's not enough.
