I was playing with that again because I noticed that when playing a video in mpv my CPU was way more active that it should be: to make a long story short, both Xorg and xfwm4 use one full equivalent core each out of 4 on this core i7 laptop, and almost nothing with compositing off. Anyway, I would have agreed with you about the issue being limited to nm-applet, until I found out that after a few back-and-forth of the compositing on/off setting I could make all the other icons in my panel go dark background and messed up. So, if all you see is a messed up nm- applet icon I want to say: try harder ;-) This issue infuriates me, especially when I have to use my laptop on battery. I want to help but I don't know how to. It's nice and all, and may be entirely justified, to blame gtk for the issue, but at some point, if it's limited to the xfce4-panel I can't imagine the gtk aka gnome people being sympathetic to the situation. I think in this case we need to admit gtk will never care enough to fix it and xfce4-panel will have to apply local fixes. I can understand you guys being time limited. But could you please give us here some pointers as to where to start looking? The OP talked about systray_plugin_box_draw() and systray_plugin_box_draw_icon() in systray.c, is that correct? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797417 Title: Background of system tray icons not drawn properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-panel/+bug/1797417/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
