I'm getting a pinkish-orange haze over the entire screen--HELP!!!

When using Safari, a very strange situation occurs periodically. As the title says, a semi-opaque pinkish-orange haze covers the screen; if more than one window is open, they all shrink approx. 30%-50% and appear side by side. When I click on any one of them, the haze disappears and they return to normal size and position. This Mac is new as of July '08.
This can occur once a session, but it can happen every 30 seconds. Once, and only once, it locked into a cycle of this every 5 seconds while making a chiming sound. I could not shut my Mac down the normal way, or even by pressing the power switch and holding it down. I had to unplug the power cord to shut it off. I waited until the next day to turn my Mac back on, and everything was normal for a while.
But the haze is occurring more and more frequently, and I'm worried. I've tried booting into the Diagnostic and running both long and short hardware tests. Everything came back normal. I also downloaded Onyx and did the maintenance and cleaning functions. The haze still appears.
I'm at a total loss. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Trash your preferences for Safari.
Navigate to your user folder -> Library -> Preferences
then look for com.apple.safari.plist
trash that.
It should reset your Safari to its original state.
I'll have to think of what else it could be, though...
Do you notice it when visiting the same sites, or just in general browsing anything?
By 3rd party extensions, I'm referring to stuff for your mac, not safari, like anything by Unsanity (windowshade?) -- anything that manages the way your machine shows windows.
