Christiaan --
I had the problem again today. I should have gotten a screen shot
(especially because the problem manifests itself slightly differently on
my setup, but is clearly the same problem).
However, I was able to fix it in a different way. I went into my
Displays Preferences in the "Alignment" tab. Tweaking the alignment just
a tad (so that OS X was forced to redraw the screens) fixed the problem
(not permanently, of course).
