Judging by what I've seen, more than one video driver seems to be 
afflicted by this problem.  I see it on a PC that uses the X.Org Intel 
driver as well as another PC that uses the binary-blob NVidia driver.  Has 
anyone noticed this problem with any other video drivers?

In my experience, the empty box is invariably left in the space that had 
momentarily displayed a tooltip for one of the widgets in a Plasma panel. 
I'll happily disable those tooltips if/when an option is provided to do 
so.  In the meantime, I frequently use the Show Desktop widget to refresh 
my desktop and clean up the empty boxes.
