Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
the panel, on startup, sets the wrong style on the handles of applets. instead of being drawn in a specific colour (if that's the setting you have on your panel) they're drawn with a normal theme (grey) background. this happens in lots of different themes. furthermore, switching themes doesn't fix the problem. the problem can only be fixed by going into panel properties, changing the background type to "normal" then changing back to the coloured background. ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- panel sets invalid style on applet handles on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/45472 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
