It seems to be happening a lot now. When I watch a YouTube video it leaves
ghost image of the YouTube screen. Is there a way to clear my display
without logging out?
Does my question make sense?
Thank you

Only if you remove the flash player (whichever one you use). When you
opt into the HTML5 trial, it shows you some clips using HTML5
technology, and others using the old Flash video format.
FWIW, I've been using the ViewTube
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011 (a Greasemonkey javascript)
for a while now, it seems to work pretty well; basically it uses
HTML5. And it's updated regularly (to keep up with the youtube
changes).

Invoke your desktop's Run Command interface (usually ALT+F2 does the
trick) or a terminal and use it to run `xkill`. This will turn your
mouse arrow into an X, and you can then click on anything on your
screen to kill the process underlying it. Please note that in the
case of Flash this may take your entire browser process along with it.
What is weird is the "ghost image" shows up on each workspace not just
the one where I played the YouTube video. I can also see the traces of
the "ghost image" on other YouTube videos I play if I have not logged
out and logged back in again. So I don't know how the "xkill" would
work on other workspaces.
Speaking of your browser, which one do you use?
I actually use three browers:
Seamonkey
Firefox
Chrome
This used to happen a
lot back in the bad old days, but I haven't heard/seen this happen in
_years_.

It is not burn-in. It is the image of what was on YouTube. Even if I
close the YouTube display right when the video finishes the "image
persistance" what I thought was ghost image is there. What clears it
is logging out and logging back in again. I was looking for something
I could run that would clear the "image persistance" what I thought
was a ghost image.
On a CRT I'm not aware of any fix. For an LCD display one
recommendation is use a screen saver to alternate between an all white and
all black image. If necessary use GIMP to create your images. You could also
open up a console with a white background and see if that will ease your
problem..
Thank you

Do you use the flash plugin for youtube or something else? (Native
HTML5/WebM support or gnash for instance.) It's quite common for flash
video to get displayed as an overlay, which is why this problem
persists across desktops. The graphics driver is often involved, what
graphics card do you have and what version of fedora?
To kill the flash plugin you can try
pkill plugin-container
- though that will kill anything running called 'plugin-container'.
Odds are flash is the only thing, but you may want to check first.
Other things to try:
1. Make sure flash, Firefox, Fedora are up to date. Check
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ (11.2.202.327 here).
2. If you're using nvidia, give the nouveau driver a go, I'm not
having this problem at the minute (though have seen similar ones in
the past).
3. Right click on the video, choose settings and change the display
settings (left tab), either enable or disable hardware acceleration
and see if that helps.
4. Try gnash, or the opt in HTML5 trial (though the latter means you
wont be able to access lots of videos).
