Description:
Since GNOME 2.28 hit [extra], the icons placed by several apps in the system tray/notification area show wrong background color. This is particularly evident with dark themes such as Shiki Colors, Ubuntu's Dust and New Wave. See the attached screenshot: Gajim, mail-notifications and Pidgin show wrong backgrounds, while other apps such as Dropbox, Network Manager, Fusion icon and Skype do not.

$ pacman -Q gtk2 gtk-engines gnome-panel
gtk2 2.18.2-1
gtk-engines 2.18.4-1
gnome-panel 2.28.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
- Upgrade to GNOME 2.28
- Switch to a dark theme (eg Shiki Colors, Ubuntu's Dust or New Wave)

Unless someone can pinpoint this problem to a certain commit, I don't want any comments here. Posting "Me too" is useless.

1. this bug also affects banshee and liferea for me;

2. i think this is a new gtk issue, however it solvable with some patches to the particular applications;

3. i've made a little search through upstream bugtrackers:

gajim: http://trac.gajim.org/ticket/5246 (issue solved in hg)
banshee: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588255 (there is a working patch)
pidgin: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10228 (I've not tried to apply this patches, cause I don't use pidgin)

Still present with gtk2 2.18.5-1 . Please fix this so I can use shiki-colors again :)

Me too and it seems that is a problem with ARCH pkgs since Ubuntu dont have this problem.
Comment by martin (ueu) - Thursday, 21 January 2010, 18:09 GMT
Confirming, actually the guys from Ubuntu have this bug too( I think in lucid )

KDE shows this issue as well.
Comment by Benjamin Wild (honki) - Friday, 02 April 2010, 23:28 GMT
i'm not sure what exactly causes this, but at least in pidgin it's fixed in 2.7devel...
Comment by Frozen Fox (FrozenFox) - Wednesday, 28 April 2010, 23:31 GMT
For those who wish to get this working before pidgin 2.7, you can build the current 2.6 from ABS with patches and it seems to be working. See jarryson's later posts in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=731130 . Other apps are still in need of their own fixes.
