Thanks Eric.  If it helps at all, it really looks like a video
driver/chipset issue.  I say that, because there's also a really weird
video artifact about 1.5" down on the left hand side of the screen.  It's
a dashed line that extends about an inch into the display.  I actually
thought it was a bad LCD the first time I saw it, but I've seen it on CRTs
as well.

The artifact doesn't always appear, but sometimes it's even there during
the bootup process, so perhaps it's actually a flaw in the chipset.  (I've
seen it on several different machines, all the t5215)

The big square is definitely more annoying, but I thought I'd mention the
artifact as well.
