Hi,
known issue, see https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz/issues/40
for more infos.
You can use this workaround for the moment:
Enable the wallpaper plugin and do a'killall caja', than the desktop icons are there and we have no redraw issue.
You can also switch wallpapers in the plugin.

thanks that fixed it. sorry for the delay in testing, I see it's being requested for stable and locked so I can't give feedback on bodhi tonight after testing with a clean install.
