Description Glynn Foster 2004-12-23 01:14:26 UTC 
Run xsnow, all my icons start rubbing out ;)
Comment 1 Brian Kerrick Nickel 2004-12-23 04:04:28 UTC 
Same with xpenguins. If nautilus drew icons onto the desktop background image,
other programs redrawing the background would redraw the icons as part of the image.

I am able to replicate it with the latest build (CVS HEAD) as of 22-Dec-2004.
After you move your mouse over the rubbing out icons on desktop they are
displayed again.
Marking it as New

Read on xsnow's webpage :

"All you KDE-users can now be even happier with a KDE-enabled Xsnow 1.42! The
snow will magnificently wipe out your icons, but not to worry, they're not
really gone. By wiping with a window or something you can make them reappear.
Car owners are used to this for years. Thanks to Robin Hogan
(R.J.Hogan@reading.ac.uk) who figured this out for xpenguin."

3rd party issue - I don't see a nautilus bug here.
