Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

That means that when the colour of the panel containing the Tomboy icon is other than the default GNOME grey (e.g. another solid or transparent colour), the Tomboy icon background does not match that of the panel's.

This is just a smal issue but it makes the panel visually unpleasant when not using the default colour and does not say much about GNOME's polish. Having a transparent icon background would make it independent of the panel's colour.

In the last few weeks there have updates to make the backgrounds of GNOME applets transparent, so I think it makes sense that Tomboy gets this feature, which IMHO would not be very difficult to implement.
