Very slow desktop icons refresh.

[Eddy]

Every now and again, something causes the desktop to refresh (just as if
you right-click the desktop and select 'Refresh'). I believe this is quite
normal behaviour, and usually all I see is a brief flicker of all the
icons repaint.

However, sometimes most of the desktop icons just change to the plain
generic icon and then it just sits there for 20-30 seconds before it
suddenly repaints all the icons.

Window does not "freeze" and everything else carries on as normal. It's
only the desktop icons affected. I wonder if anyone has any ideas as to
why this might occur?

Thanks, for the suggestion. It's an LCD monitor already set to a 60Hz
refresh rate.

However, I can't imagine what the monitor could to do with it?

The display is otherwise perfect. It is like the *desktop* freezes (only it
not frozen, it still works normally apart from the un-repainted icons) and
other open windows still work normally.
