I have a Dell 2001FP, and it displays the same
effect. Mind you, the only static elements I have
are rxvt and Firefox window border, but they leave
a slight darkening of the backdrop.

For me, the problem mostly disappears when the LCD
is switched off over-night. I also occasionally
adjust my standard window placement, to allow the
elements to recover.
