> Yes, I can reproduce the same problem with gamin 0.0.25.

After many days without experiencing this bug I was finally able to reproduce it
once tonight on an up-to-date hoary system. (gamin 0.0.25-0ubuntu1)

Steps that I did to make it happen once: from the command line I created in my
home directory a file named patch.tar.gz containing a few files. Using Nautilus
I dragged that file to my desktop. I then clicked on it to see its content
(using file-roller). Then from the command line I removed it from the Desktop
(cd ~/Desktop; rm patch.tar.gz). The file was gone from the ~/Desktop
directory, but the icon was still on my screen. I then killed the Nautilus
process, which immediately removed the icon from the desktop.

Subsequent attempts (half-a-dozen times) failed to reproduce that bug more than
once.
