Yes, completely gone!  The problem is apparently not "static", btw.  Playing a little more with it, it can be easily re-produced by moving the mouse over icon on the gnome desktop.  When the icon gets highlighted, sometimes it gets the weird colours, sometimes not.  Sometimes the effect disappears the next time the icon is highlighted.  Looks like a timing issue?

Not sure to be honest...  I attach a photo of the effect, showing the xine url in the start screen, because it's clearly visible there.  It's in the lower right corner when you launch xine without a video file.

Ah, I see...

Thanks, Albrecht.
