If you've always been starting these from your folder widget, try calling up one of them (leafpad's probably the quickest) from the main menu, then from the command line. Do you still get phantom icons? If not, your folder shortcut is indeed the problem.
Actually, I never start leafpad except either by alt-F2, or by clicking on a file icon, because I use text files differently than I do films or television shows. That shortcut folder is mostly just for loading playlists, either videos or sometimes music. There's almost nothing else there, and nothing else that I use regularly.
I probably ought to clean up the old obsolete shortcuts, but it didn't seem too urgent.
