Do you have any theme changing hacks or apps?

no. The only thing that could be the problem is a program called cocktail.
It enables me to change the original "show desktop" expose command. instead of moving all windows off screen, it pulls them into a box on the desktop.

Classic 😀

Hate to break it to you ldenman, cocktail is a UI "hack" app. Ditch it and see if the problem persists.

If you start up Cocktail and go to the interface pane you will see this :

"The minimize desktop feature can cause unexpected system behavior on computers running Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later"

unselect "minimize desktop"
Your problem will be solved.
