These seem to be (like jerry said) either corrupt preference problems or a bad on-board battery problem. Is your machine doing anything goofy with the clock? Has it been losing time of late? Try the whole gamut of fixes: get a copy of MacJanitor (check versiontracker) and run all the tasks. use Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility to repair permissions. You might want to try trashing the com.apple.finder.plist file from your preferences. Finally, you might also want to try the command-option-p-r (PRAM zap) at startup, and let the machine boing about 7 times. This'll clear out any crud built up in the bowels of the PRAM.
