Public bug reported:

There's a 1x17 white bar of pixels that shows up in the upper left of
the screen. They're usually hidden (due to the top menu bar) but they're
visible when a program spans the whole screen (ex. full screen terminals
or video - see attached screenshot). This sliver of pixels is
unresponsive, by which I mean that clicking them doesn't do anything,
even if the application usually displays a right-click context menu.

This problem manifests on a couple of my systems:
Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) on a laptop (HP Pavilion dv5163cl)
Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on a PC (Dell Dimension 9200)

I've noticed that this occurs when I:
a. Run VLC (music or video, it always occurs)
b. Inconsistently occurs when using Firefox
then it disappears when I close those applications. After a bit of 
investigating I stumbled on a forum post suggesting that this might either 
concern Adobe Flash or UIM (both of which I have):
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-689310-highlight-openbox.html?sid=131dee068fb5ecfdbda853430ae1dbce

However, the last post was in 2004 and I'm not spotting a bug report so
here it is! My apologies if I should be sending this to someone
upstream. This is a low priority issue, but it's kinda annoying when
watching movies so please let me know if I can be of any help in solving
it. Cheers! -Damian
