Sometimes it is necessary to refresh your desktop but you don't really want to restart your X-server. Starting your X-server will close all your active applications and this can often be undesirable.
There is a way to refresh your desktop, without restarting the X-server, simply type xrefresh in a terminal.
You will probably see a quick flicker, but none of your applications should close.
I can't guarantee if this command exists in all Puppy Linux Distributions.
