I don't know why it happens, but I have to reboot to return to normal. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer smokes pot and then tries to shave. He starts to bleed in rainbows. My guess is that compiz doesn't play nice with the wine/firefox ABC.com media player. I'll post updates as more information become avaliable.
Update: I discoverd that my suspicion is correct, the problem is with compiz. If I disable visual effects then the problem goes away. ABC.com still doesn't work in wine, but I don't get the psychedelic screen effect either. Tie?
