Well, if it's not that, it's a corrupted settings file for some
element of your desktop. You can move them, one by one, into a
subdirectory, where they won't activate, until you isolate the one
that stops the problem occurring - then delete it, and move the others
back.

Without looking at lots and lots of log files, many not very readable,
that's more or less the only way to do it.
