Thanks all. I tried again with other windows minimized so that the upper 
left pixel is medium brown from the wallpaper, and I can make out the 
white pixel. A maximized unfocued background window has that pixel 
normally black surrounded by light blue pixels that make one white pixel 
harder to see for imperfect eyes.  Live, post errors, and learn ;-).
