As fas as I can tell, it's a bug. I noticed it a couple of days ago... I
couldn't investigate it further yet. I'm almost sure this didn't happen
with the "stock" FC3 installation, so I presume some update broke something.
But there's no need to logout. If you click on the desktop and press
CTRL+R, the desktop will be redrawn, and you'll see your files. It's a
PITA, but it's better than loggin in/out.
