Things have gone from weird to weirder.

1) I created a '.something' folder on my desktop.
2) I moved it into the Trash. This is where the weird starts-- the
'.something' directory stayed on my desktop, as well as appearing in the
Trash.
3) I emptied the Trash-- this correctly detected the '.something'
directory from the trash, but the '.something' directory on my desktop
remained.
4) When I double-click on the '.something' directory on my desktop,
nothing happens. I can right-click on it, and the appropriate context
menu for a directory appears, but when I try to click "Open..." nothing
happens.
