Hi,
My system is always uptodate and I don't how happened but there are abnormal red pixels near tray icons for two weeks. Firstly I supposed that it's a death pixel but it wasnt. The locations of red pixels always change as soon as the location of icons are changed when open the programs in different order. I tested my LCD screen with death pixel tester program and there is actually no death pixel. It is happened when I open a new program especially VLC player and Rhythmbox.
Here is my tray icons;
The only solution that I found for now is reopen the program or run "gnome-panel --replace" command then these red pixels disappear. But I could not figure out the problem yet.
Gnome version 2.32.1

I don't see any stray red pixel in the image you posted.
Thus it could as well be a hardware/driver problem.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

threre is one above the image, between the speaker and the rj45 plug
ive got a similar issue with the green channel, but its my monitor acting weird. some times they are there...some times they are not there. its not kde, and its unrelated of what im running.
samsung syncmaster 206bw
my pixels dance a little too.
EDIT: now that i think about it. if you managed to take a snapshot, its not the same issue.

The snapshot is the same appearance what I see at right side of gnome-panel where tray icons stand.
Here is the bigger size of tray icons
normally it should be like that,
If I had a hardware problem it must have every time at the same posion of my LCD screen, such as watching fullscreen movie, or using the other OS, I should have seen the same red pixels at the same place. Maybe it's related with gnome panel maybe my theme or some drivers but I could not figure out the problem yet as I said before.

i dont know why i thought it was kde,
it seems like an icon theme issue. test with another icon theme
