Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: desktop-file-utils

Ubuntu 7.04
1) Create untitled folder or file on the Desktop.
2) Rename it like 
   .abc
or
   .asdfg
etc.
3) Open terminal.
4) Type
  $ cd ~/Desktop
  $ rm .abc    //or rm -r .abc
5) Close the Terminal. Look at your Desktop. Files/folders are still there, but 
they are deleted.
Reboot solves this problem. Bug.
