Comment 336 for bug 439448

I think that is from the GTK rendering engine issue with compiz, I have
ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 on my PC, and I only get this problem on 10.10 with
compiz

Its clear to me that's happening because of all these ubuntu distros are
sharing a single /home. As there are only common settings and configs, they
are conflicting each others: example: as my latest settings are related to
natty (and work properly), when i run maverick again then the panel is
broken (icons desappeared). Readding the missing icons in maverick, then
reopen natty, and the icons are duplicated now on natty !!!!

>
> After graphical logon notification area gets scrambled. Icons are in
terrible mess. Some of them are overlapping others. Sometimes network
manager icon is missing. Sometimes phantom icons show up. They can be clones
of any other icons in the notification area. Bug affects any graphics card:
ATI, nVidia, Intel...

> When you get your icons distorted right-click on the affected panel (not
icons) click "Properties". In "Panel Properties" change panel orientation to
"Left" or "Right" and back to "Top" or "Bottom". In my case all icons are
displayed properly, but one (nm-applet) is missing.
