Radioactive Bathwater and Disco Pillows
IgnorantBliss:
This definitely sounds like a glitch caused by certain nVidia video card drivers. Which video card do you have, and which driver version are you using?
KevinTMC:
Okay, now that I'm back home and can check the driver version...
I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT, driver version 81.98.
Haven't updated the drivers in a wee while, partly because I felt lucky to have moved up to 81.98 without breaking stuff (I know some folks are still clinging to, what, 77.something)...but on the NVIDIA site I see that they are now up to 91.31.

THIS is what 'broke' stuff for me when I had a 6600 Nvidia card. Had to roll back to stop the neon pillows and water from occuring. Don't know how the 91.31 will work with your card. Hell if it were me, I'd give it a shot first.

Hmm, I'm using the same driver, without problems. But maybe try rolling back to 77.77, that also worked well for me, without glowing pillows or anything. This glitch definitely seems to be related only to nVidia cards and some drivers, I don't think it's caused by custom content. I've had the glowing texture problem with some drivers, too.

That was solid enough reasoning for me. So last night I uninstalled 81.98, rebooted, then installed 91.31.
And the result? Drumroll please...
...rumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumbum...
...it worked! (Ta daaa!) No more nuclear bathwater, and pillows are behaving so far. Brilliant!
Thanks to all for helping me focus on the most likely issue, and for the encouragification to bite the bullet and try the new NVIDIA drivers.
As an extra bonus, the 9x.xx series has a completely redesigned control panel. Shiny!
