[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 403135] Re: Notification area icon wrongly rendered/uses bg_color as a background (multiple apps)

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Because of bug #416294, VLC had to disable ARGB X11  visuals in Xlib. In
my opinion, a ugly but nevertheless cosmetic issue in the tray icon is
much less severe than the inability to play any video. Hence we will not
re-enable ARGB visuals.

As a consequence, we cannot fix this bug. We would need a proper Qt4-x11
fix for #416294 (see http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5464)
first, which is not forthcoming.

Bug description:
The following bug may possibly depend on my setup, if so just tell me how to check this. I am using banshee 1.4.3-5 (in ubuntu karmic) and its notification area icon has a black background, unlike other applets that have a transparent background.

I attach a screenshot.

This bug is noticed when:
a) Themes set a background image in the gtkrc
b) If users set a custom image for the panel from Panel Properties > Background > Background Image

***This bug affects all themes , but has become easier to notice since the default light-themes use a background image.***

Also , see , comment #99 , might be a regression in gnome-panel since Karmic release.
