Why does the Finder desktop disappear?

Twice it has happened to me in Snow Leopard (10.6.2) that the Finder stopped displaying the desktop. Quitting the Finder and relaunching restored it. My installation of Snow Leopard is absolutely clean (erased hard disk and installed everything from scratch and rebuilt prefs).

Has anyone else seen this?

2008 MacBook Pro (late 2008) 2.4 GHz / 4GB / 250GB 7200rpm, Mac OS X (10.6.2), iPhone 3G 8GB OS 3.0.1
