desktop icons refreshing themselves, don't know why

Hi,

I've noticed that sometimes I'll close a program and
my desktop will flicker and all the icons will switch to
some generic none-specifc icon and then they'll one by
one revert to their correct logos. I have no idea what
might cause this bizarre behavior. It happens fairly
quickly (between 1 and 3 seconds) but I can't help
wondering what it was that caused it to think for some
reason that the icons (which were all correct) might not
be right and it decided to refresh them all.
