Okay, I think you should file a bug directly with the Gnome project as there seem to be similar problems on their bug tracker so they know about it. When you do post it upstream post the link to your bug report here so we can link to it...

The exact appearance changes from login to login. Very often, there's random gargabe shown in the spot of the volume indicator; the letter "i" is also often not drawn. I'll attach a screenshot for the latter defect. I'm using the "ati" display driver (not "fglrx").
