9.04 Dissapearing desktop icons

this bug may not be considered of high importance but it is quite annoying. not sure if this happens with any other files but i have two *.flv video files currently on my system and moveiplayer and Mplayer dont like them but they do work in VLC player. so as a default id like to configure my system so when i open *.flv files it opens automatically with VLC. however when i right click on the video file and select properties i get a pause... then it says somthin like you can cancel this operation if you wish (with a small cancel box). then instead of loading up the properties window i think(cant remember) it closes my open applications and also all my desktop icons dissapear (USB stick, Computer, CD drive, etc etc) they all return again on reboot but for one i cant bring up the properties window and its pretty annoying loosing them. im not sure if this bug also happens with any other file extensions but i dont feel like loosing my desktop again so im not goin to try it. =) =) =)
