Well the circumstances are different, but it does indeed sound very similar.  
I have a clear white arrow that moves freely on a black screen.  The second 
terminal tells me that X is running, which fits with what Rex had said.  A 
Plasma failure usually leaves applications running and visible, but nothing is 
visible.  It's a bit of a mystery.  Happily it's not too frequent.  I'll just 
keep experimenting whenever I have some time.  Thanks for trying to help.
