Zombie filenames on OS X desktop?

Over the past few months I've had a couple cases of "zombie filenames"
on my desktop (currently OS X 10.2.6). The file has long since been
deleted, but the text of the filename, without an icon, occupies a spot
on the desktop. If I click on it it disappears, but subsequent Finder
activity causes it to reappear.

Any idea where this is coming from and what to do to eliminate it?
