"I'm interested to know more about this. What do you mean by "installed
RGBA transparency on Ubuntu 10.04"? This can probably shed some light
on exactly what is going on, and exactly what needs to be done to fix
this issue."
This could be better explained on the Ubuntu wiki here
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/RgbaGtkWithPPA/>.
Here
<http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/enable-rgba-transparency-in-ubuntu-910.html>
is installation instructions.
Here <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4367247/rgba-enabled.png> is a screenshot
of my desktop running rgba (notice the Firestarter icon is wrong).
Please note that this is NOT a solution to this bug and this software is
very temperamental. If you install it expect lots of issue fixing.
Also, since my last post I can only reproduce the Banshee icon being
fixed, not the vlc or Firestarter icons. I have only tried once more,
as I have to log in and out and whatnot. However, vlc is blacklisted
from using rgba, Banshee and Firestarter are not. There are lots of
variables at work here and I am not a developer. I can confirm that
upon first install of rgba transparency all three afore mentioned icons
were corrected. Now, a week or so later, with much configuration
editing and theme tweaking, only the Banshee icon is displayed correctly.
What this has to do with this bug I don't know specifically, but if I
had to guess, it would be that gnome-panel simply doesn't accept
whatever display standards these programs use for their tray icons by
default. Why is this so hard to fix? You got me, but these are
commonly used programs and this problem has been persistent through the
two versions of Ubuntu I've used, including this "LTS" offering. Seems
ridiculous to me.

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.
