taskbar program icons location

[Kraemer]

Every so often, right after bootup, the icons for the
programs I run show up in the wrong position in the
taskbar. I use a regular-position taskbar with start
button oriented on the bottom left. So rather than the
program icons showing up next to the start button and
adding themselves to the start button's right, they
instead show on the extreme right and stack themselves on
top of each other. This is bad.

I also have the desktop and language toolbars on the
taskbar. Sometimes moving (or toggling) the language bar
fixes the problem, sometimes not. Anyone out there have
any ideas on this one? TIA

System backgroung:
WinXP Pro 2002 SP1
2 monitors
Using Japanese IME with language bar
Dell 8250
