I have an IMAC G5 Intel running 10.4.11. The whole screen is moving
when I move the mouse whether or not I have any button pushed. When
the screen moves, the edges go offscreen. This is a brand new
development and, although it doesn't appear to affect functionality it
makes the computer sort of uncomfortable to use and I know this should
not be happening

You have accidentally enabled screen zooming, perhaps by pressing 
Control while using the scroll wheel/ball of your mouse.

Have a look at your System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > 
Zoom settings. The default key combination for this is Command-Option-- 
(minus key). The scroll wheel functionality is controlled through a 
checkbox accessible by clicking the Options button in this panel.

This could happen if you've unwittingly magnified ("Zoomed") your screen 
magnification, even slightly, by hitting cmd-option-<plus sign>.

Unzoom by hitting cmd-option-<minus sign> repeatedly (doing this never 
goes below unity magnification), and see if that eliminates the problem.

For more on this, go to System Preferences >> System >> Universal Access 
and explore the "Zoom" settings and options.  Turning Zoom Off may also 
end the problem (but then you won't be able to magnify the screen when 
you want to).
