I did, and found this on a thread:
	Create a white image in Photoshop (or similar) the same
	size as your screen. Use it as yiur screen saver and let
	it run for as long as possible. I had the same problem,
	ran the screen saver for 24 hours and and then rebooted
	and the burn-in (Apple call it "ghosting") was gone. I've
	seen it recommended that you run the white image as
	screensaver for as long as you've had the ghosting problem,
	but in my case a week was too long for me to have no computer
	access so 24 hours did the trick. The problem hasn't since
	re-occured...
	This solution was recommended by Apple, it's somewhere in
	their knowledge base...
	Here's the link:

Another site desribes it as "retained pixel charge" - apparently it's
not a permanent condition as with monitor or plasma burn-in, it just
requires something to force a change of the charge.
