Bug Description
System: KUbuntu 8.04.1 (KDE4) with all updates as of today, Nvidia GeForce 6600 video card with latest propietary drivers.
Gray square overlaps top-left corner when opening an Mplayer+FireFox3 stream in Toma Internet TV.
That's it: when I try to run a video stream from the internet television website "Toma Internet tv" (and other websites which broadcast video) I don't get the stream loading at the embedded MPlayer window though the corresponding firefox pop-up window container opens up.
Instead, I get a strange grayed square area which occupies a large portion of the top left corner of the screen. This square can't be closed or removed even when I close Firefox and kill -9 both firefox and mplayer. I get rid of it only by logging out of the session and then logging in again.
By the way, the problem does not happen on the first account I created on KUbuntu, but only on the second and the third user accounts I created. If I was to create a fourth account right now, I am pretty sure that it would show the same wrong behaviour.

I observed screen corruption as well on the left mouse button contextual menues. This may be related to that plugin which makes menues and screen-tooltips look as exploding when closed.
Corruption stays for a fraction of a second, and then the correct pixels are drawn.
