Do you have a partitioned hard disk? If you have files or aliases on
partition 1 that belong to applications that are on partition 2, then
it's possible that those icons won't be correct when the desktops are
rebuilt for all partitions. When partition 1 rebuilds its desktop, it
doesn't know about the applications on partition 2 as there is no
desktop file for that. It's something I noticed once on the 8500, but
I don't see it on the PowerBook because of the way that the order in
which the partitions are rebuilt and the location of the partition
holding the applications. If you don't have a partitioned drive, then
I don't know why you would need an additional restart to get the
icons to sort themselves out.
Then again, it may be some reason I have no clue about.
