I just noticed this (*again*) while TS-ing the youtube colors issue (to
which it is probably unrelated).

With firefox still open on the youtube page on another desktop, the
ghost image of pictures such as a video frame show through in the
thunderbird edit pages. Weird (nvidia card).

I have this problem too, with an nvidia card. The ghost images
show up in almost every type of window. To stop it I run this
tiny script (called kp) to kill the flash plugin:

#!/bin/bash
killall plugin-container

The next time flash is needed, plugin-container and flash are
automatically regenerated (you may need to refresh the web page
in Firefox).

BTW, this Firefox add-on, Video DownloadHelper, is great for
downloading videos from Youtube and other video sites.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/

You can then watch the videos with mplayer, and get brightness,
contrast, speed, color, and other controls -- much better than
what you get with flash. Also, if the video is important, you
can save it; anything on the Web can go away.
