"show desktop" icon stopped working

My "show desktop" icons stops working. I have to reboot to get it back
but at some point it fails again. When it fails, I also cannot
doubleclick files/folders on my desktop. Very strange issue. Anyone
seen this?

thanks.

Hi Brink, it took a while for this problem to happen again, but Aero
appears to be working fine.

Show desktop is broken again, I can't click on anything on the
desktop, but I can still use Flip 3D without issue.

Any suggestions?

thanks.
