Every now and then my desktop background, icons, and taskbar vanish briefly
and then re-appear, but afterwards several icons that were in the sys tray
have vanished, though the programs they relate to seem to be running OK.

Any ideas?

PS: This reset can also happen with a change to the display. Example:
Closing a game that uses a different display mode than normal windows
causes desktop to reset.
