[X4U] Flashing desktop icons and menu bar

[Brett Conlon]

flashing desktop icons.... meaning tyhey keep doing it over and over again 
or they do it occasionally, like the desktop is redrawing slowly.

If the latter then this usually indicates that the Mac is running low on 
memory. A reboot can clear it up and checking that the startup drive isn't 
too full is also a good place to start.

I'm guessing you've already sorted it out by now anyway.

Cheers,

My brother who has a Quicksilver with Tiger suddenly is plagued with 
his desktop icons and menu bar flashing on and off. Admittedly, he 
claims to have done some heavy file transfers and file deletion on 
the Quicksilver. Any thoughts on his problem and a solution. I opined 
that he should zap his pram which he is in the process of doing.
