Things have gone from weird to weirder.

1) I created a '.something' folder on my desktop.
2) I moved it into the Trash.  This is where the weird starts-- the 
'.something' directory stayed on my desktop, as well as appearing in the 
Trash.
3) I emptied the Trash-- this correctly detected the '.something' 
directory from the trash, but the '.something' directory on my desktop 
remained.
4) When I double-click on the '.something' directory on my desktop, 
nothing happens.  I can right-click on it, and the appropriate context 
menu for a directory appears, but when I try to click "Open..." nothing 
happens.
