Have you tried clicking on the desktop, selecting View->Show View Options, then checking what the arrangement settings are?

I have tons of files and icons on my desktop. I know that strains the system but it's how I work. The biggest problem I had when I upgraded from Panther to Tiger was a massive slowdown in the Finder operations. After checking with the Activity Monitor, I found that two processes were taking up huge amounts of CPU time (WindowServer and one other process). After some research, turns out that my 200+ desktop icons (I had no idea I had that many) were slowing my system down horribly. After moving nearly all the icons to a folder on my desktop, the slowdowns stopped completely. Just a heads up if your Finder becomes sluggish and unresponsive, that's one place to look. I'll be waiting to upgrade to Leopard until some of the early issues get worked out since I'm still using a PPC Mac.
