They are most likely stars from your desktop background shining through the transparent menu bar.
Go to the Apple
apple in the upper left corner of the screen. Go to system preferences, then to Desktop & Screensavor icon. Click on the Desktop tab and de-check the "Translucent Menu Bar" option. Are the white spots still there? I've actually never noticed them when I had that stock Leopard background.

When i unchecked the translucent menu bar the white spots disappeared, so they must be from the Leopard background.
Yeah I actually miss that desktop picture and put it back up but I don't see the white spots you are talking about LOL. Then again my screen is 1280x1024 so it is different then yours most likely.
