"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.
