To describe more what is since today @_14:oo happening to my desktop DPG4@450 - I recorded a small .mov

I can not believe it - what is it ?
A virus ? Is my Grafik-card screwed - is OS X going down on my machine ? Is the hole machine close to the edge ? This effect ("nice" pink dots) are not in all Applications/Windows. They do not appear in the Terminal. The DVD-Window doesn't have it - well you can see them on the top of the window but they do not leave such a nice trace.

WTF !? Any1 a clue. It is really annoying when you can not move Windows. The display is "sorta" refreshed when you minimise the window, ... ohh mama ...

I bet that is a hardware problem. I saw similar results with several failing Workgroup Server 9150s several years ago. Replacing the motherboard (back when video was integrated) fixed it.
