Start Menu Shading Leaves Scar on Screen

On two IBM ThinkPads, T series, one running XP SP1 and the other SP2, I've had the
problem with the shading of the Start menu, a backward L, randomly staying on the
screen. It is on top of all windows -- pretty annoying. The only way to get rid of
it is to logoff. It disappears as soon as the Desktop turns B&W, but will reappear
of I cancel the logoff. I have been unable to find any other person who has seen
this problem.
I think I have bypassed the problem by turning off Show shadings under menus in Control
panel->System->Advanced->Performance options->Visual effects.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there another fix?

Right -- I got zero response from TweakXP Forum, so I thought I'd try here. Ironically,
I got a response here only because of the TweakXP message.
How can I be the only one to have this problem while I have it on two machines?
One habit that I have which might have something to do with it is: I never bring
up the Start bar/menu by bumping the side of the screen. I have turned off that
annoying feature. I always bring it up using the Windows button. I don't actually
have a Windows on button on my ThinkPad so what I actually do is:
- Set the Registry to remap Caps Lock to be the Windows button.
- Use PowerPro to map a double right click to be {win}{win}.
