phantom icon

[John Lindsay <jclind@sentex.net>]

I plugged my wife's sony ereader into my debian (lenny) machine USB 
socket primarily to charge it up properly. I was very surprised when it 
came up with the 'do you want to run the program' and actually mounted 
the volume. I was able to look at the files but didn't do anything else. 
I did forget to unmount the reader prior to removing it so now I have a 
phantom icon called reader on my desktop. I cannot delete it.I cannot 
move it to trash as it says I need to unmount it but catch 22 --  Short 
of rebooting how can I get rid of the icon?
