Comment 240 for bug 403135

Somehow the icons that appear with non-transparent backgrounds are using window colors instead of panel background. Same bug exists in xfce (last checked 4.8). You may fix that by using a theme which panel is of the same color as windows. In my opinion, that's nonsense and I've given up and started using awn as my panel and tint2 (on netbook). Both work nicely. So if anyone could look into gnome panel code and make sure it doesn't "borrow" window colors and uses it's own instead would be appreciated by all gnome users :)
