Looking at your screen cap; I don't see the white streaks you mention.  This 
could mean the problem is with your monitor.  Specifically, the gun cut-off.

I wouldn't suggest to the average person to remove the back of their monitor and 
start making adjustments gun drives and cut-offs on the neck board.  But if you 
can figure out Linux, monitors are a piece of cake right?    *grin*

As a way of checking it's not your X config, why not pop in a Knoppix or other 
live cd?

Barring making adjustments under the rear cover, you may be able to minimize the 
effect by making adjustments to your Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation levels.
