 I was editing the Title attribute of songs in a music folder when suddenly
 it wouldn't let me click to edit anymore.  Right after that, I noticed all
 the labels for my desktop icons were just - (hypens).  Tried many things
 to get the labels back (restarting tracker among them).  Ultimately this
 cleared things.

 hey Tracker quit ; rm -rf ~/Desktop ; /system/Tracker

 Note that while experimenting, I moved all the icons except Disks and
 Trash temporarily into a new folder inside home.  So the attached zipped
 file doesn't contain all my usual icons.  diver suggested I zip this up
 and share it in this ticket.  His speculation on the cause of this problem
 was:

 "probably some wrong handling of attributes causes the Tracker to get into
 an invalid state"

 So, hope it helps solve whatever bug caused this oddity!
