@Walter: I'm sure you don't need me to confirm, but, just to confirm, your instructions to "reload" the desktop folder does work to clean up the desktop of this non-existent file . . . easy enough to do.
As I posted on the bug, I did try to run Alf's series of commands . . . and w/o something from "sources" the whole series of commands "E'd" out . . . . So perhaps some further work has to be done "upstream"??? He seems to be the guy who is part of the team that has responded to this bug . . . in a sense "non-critical" . . . but on the aesthetic level . . . "critical" . . . .
