Hi all, can't seem to figure out how to get rid of a ghosted/gray icon originally found on the Dock (the @ thingy with the springboard). Just got my powerbook and somehow this icon got transferred from the Dock to the desktop and it cannot be moved or clicked.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is not a hardware question.

If you drag a window over it, does it go away? If you log out and back in, does it go away? If you reboot, does it go away?

I suspect one of the first two will fix this.
