Actually using --with-in-process-applets=notification-area isn't
necessary. In previous releases it's been compiled with
--with-in-process-applets=all but this line has been commented out in
Lucid. Simply uncommenting it and recompiling is enough to fix it.

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.
