Ah.. the white stuff is almost assuredly not silicon grease, but rather
titanium dioxide. It's commonly used as a thermal paste, and if the dust
is inhaled it is highly toxic. As long as the paste is still plastic
though you're fairly safe. It's when it's dried out you really want to be
careful with it.
