I have experienced this bug 6763 times: once last week, and 2 times tonight while
trying to reproduce it. I still haven't been able to come up with a good
example to prove this bug; but essentially tonight I was randomly creating files
on the desktop, renaming them, and then deleting them; and twice they stayed on
the desktop after a delete.

But the one thing I'm sure of: it is not related to the trash applet. In one
of the case tonight I removed the file using the command line (i.e, "rm
~/Desktop/test.gz "), and the file was deleted from my filesystem, but its icon
remained on my desktop. And obviously that's why they finally disappear only
after a logout/login since they are not physically present in ~/Desktop
directory after being removed or moved to the trashcan.
