I keep being told that it's because these icons aren't using the new GTKStatusIcon, but that seems like a cop out to me.

A few releases ago (possibly Intrepid) this problem appeared in every tray icon. It seems to be true that some applications have fixed the issue by using GTKStatusIcon, but I don't think that's the root cause at all.

Something regressed in whatever the icons were using before, which triggered this problem, months ago.

That's what it seems like to me. I'm open to be proven wrong, but I have a pretty clear memory of all of being able to change my panel colour, transparency and even add an image without the icon backgrounds being broken.
