Are you using xscreensaver? If so, does this occur after the screensaver has just been disengaged?

Same issue from here as well.

Agreed, on the desktop computer, my favorite is to install Ubuntu with the Unity Desktop, install the Xubuntu Desktop, and then personalize the XFCE. I use a mix of the two sets of applications. The...
