Public bug reported:

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.
