Well, I would go into iTunes, back up your iPhone. Then grab a pen and some paper and go into Cydia and write down all of your installed packages. Then restore the iPhone via iTunes.
Next, make an appointment at your local Apple Store and see what they say. Take your chances with the "watermark" (which I am assuming is a tripped water sensor).

I had the same problem with my old 3G. the home button has these two little fragile pins that send the signal that the button was pushed. Mine broke off, i had to open my phone, and i used little pieces of foil to bridge the connection. worked like a charm until i upgraded to the 4.
If your out of warrenty, or want a new home button to install i recomend a web site http://www.ubreakifix.com/
you can send your phone out, or order the part for a little DIY.

If you have an iPhone 4 it is still under warranty. Warranty's come with the phone at no extra charge.
Restore the phone and take it to apple, JUST talk about the home button and nothing else. My friend accidentally spilt vodka all over his iphone 4, the home button started sticking and you could see the 30-pin water sensor was tripped, he walked in and only spoke about the home button saying it was sticking.. The Genius looked at the phone, teste the home button, didnt even check the water sensors, and replaced the phone on the spot.
Just back up on iTunes and then take the iPhone to Apple. If you're lucky, they'll replace it, just be as honest and respectful as possible
