It may be a factor, but as I said earlier (what, you didn't reread the 355 comments ? ;-) I managed to reproduce the issue (especially in the bottom panel, next to the "show desktop" applet) from a clean user profile, with the default set of applets.
What was particularly striking was the fact that re-creating afterwards exactly the same set of applets made the issue more difficult to occur. >From the "default set", I could force it to happen by "killing" the panel from the terminal a couple of times. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439448 Title: Visual corruption affecting several panel applets -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
