In particular, if you select "clean up" the icons get bumped up to the very top of the window, instead of leaving a little border. Rebooting takes care of the problem. This occurred under the following circumstances: after working with the Mac for a while I began to notice that the Finder was taking a LONG time to start up after an application quit (it seemed to be going back and forth between two tracks several times), and that MacWrite documents (both existing and newly created ones) were being shown with a plain document icon (not the document with lines of text). Then after doing some folder rearranging, the Finder said there wasn't enough room on the disk to store the changes (even though the disk window said 32k). I rebooted (I think), and the Finder repaired the disk, which cured everything--except the icons were put in the wrong place by "clean up", and rebooting again solved that.
