This is something thats bugged me, since its happened on my GF's new laptop, my neices laptop and my 2 nephews laptops, all running vista.
I write this, just incase anyone else has this problem and needs a fix.
What i narrowed it down to (and i'm not saying EVERY instance is because of this!) was a program called ARES that is a peer to peer program.
If you have ARES running in the taskbar, it will hide your taskbar buttons behind the start button after a while, so i reccomended that they minimise the application to the tray if they MUST use it.
This had worse concequences making the system tray and clock disapeer also!!
Just as a note, the same program works fine in XP.
Solution: Dont use ARES till its updated to solve this problem!!!
If your not running ARES but still have the same problems, it will most probably be a 3rd party software problem, so try not using one program at a time till the perpetrator is found!

(PS, logging out of windows and then back in seems to temp fix the problem, but the usual way of stopping the 'explorer.exe' process and restarting it seemed to do nothing in this case.)
