I noticed last night that I have the letters "bhgctfulyg" on each of my three desktops. It's not causing any harm, it's just really annoying me! Does anyone know what they might be there for, and how to get rid of them?

Always on the same spot. I somehow doubt that it is "on" the wallpaper.
I guess it some bug of a programm that left it there. Or some joke app meant to annoy you.
Did you try a full restart? Did you check what Apps are running? Did you try to set a wallpaper from the web, some random picture of google images.
 
looks like GeekTool

It is indeed :eek: I played about with it for a few minutes about a week ago, and didn't know how to use it. I though had uninstalled it, but obviously not. thanks.

As said above me GeekTool is a amazing app with just little practice.
