    Kind Regards.

    I've noticed this as well but gladly have been able to remedy the issue by flipping between desktops a few times.

    Its weird because I just got a brand new droid and both this one and the old one did it. This means that its likely a widget or running process causing it.

    I'll list my widgets in case this helps narrow it down:

    I've had it happen too. Sometimes I reboot the phone, sometimes I have to take the battery out in order to reboot it. Wifi button sometimes gets stuck too. Haven't rooted the phone or been using Home++ and all this starting happening recently after having the phone since the beginning of December.

    My phone did it again this morning. It came out of the docking cradle this morning with a very clean desktop. I decided to bring it into the store during lunch...hoping it didn't fix itself before I got there. I've fixed it by just locking the screen before but this time the icons stayed gone. The store did a battery pull and they came back. What they did ask was about my wallpaper. She asked where I got it and I said it was just an image. She said they weren't sure but the thinking was the icons are still there but behind the wallpaper. Interesting idea. One thing we noticed is that when flipping from one of the 3 standard desktops to the next the image didn't slide as much as it did after the reboot.

    So...those having this issue...have you swapped out the default wallpaper and if so with what? I think mine came from a wallpaper app from the market. Beach Wallpaper maybe?

    Anyone find a solution yet? I have the Eris and this has been happening at least twice a day. I am using one of the wallpapers they provide. One thing that I've noticed is that it tends to do it right after I remove a widget or app from any of the home screens and then try to save the scene again. It's really annoying. When I try to go to that scene again (from settings) only the apps/widgets I removed will show up. Really weird... and really annoying. Other than that I love the phone, but it would be great to have a solution to this.
