Every time I boot into Saucy the middle section of the top and bottom panels are a light color close to white. I have found that if I hold ALT+Super+right click the mouse on each panel, go to properties, click background, change it to solid color and then back to none (use system theme) then it straightens out and the color matches the rest of the panels. I used to have to do this multiple times per session but, recently it appears I can do it once after login but, not absolutely sure.

If its not, repeat the Minimize and Maximize actios to rise up the bug) Temporary WorkArround: Enable "Show Hide Buttons" under Panel Properties. This will "transfer" the buggy white color effect to the sidebuttons in the panel.
