   Um, it doesn't.  The .snapshot dir is in the *home* dir., as a sibling of 
~/Desktop.  The [raw] contents of ~/Desktop never change, the rogue icons 
are an overlay added by nautilus for some reason.

   E.g., with .snapshot and possibly blah showing on Desktop:

/home/username/blah
/home/username/Desktop [no .snapshot or blah]
/home/username/.snapshot
/home/username/.snapshot/hourly.0/blah
/home/username/.snapshot/hourly.1/blah
etc.

   Oh, and I was wrong earlier, the problem's only fixed after a reboot, so 
the issues not likely to be nautilus itself but more whatever's feeding it 
info. (with 'mount' and 'lshal' not showing anything abnormal).
