Public bug reported:

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy amd64 with compiz enabled for both my laptop
and desktop. Both have nVidia graphic card and their own dual monitor
setup, i.e., laptop has a second monitor and the desktop has TV
connection. Also, both nVidia cards use open source driver(nvidia-glx).
The symptom is that if I change the volume using dedicated media keys on
the keyboard with the mouse focus on the second monitor, it affects
gnome desktop theme, e.g., icon theme and/or window decorator theme
depending on monitor. It affects only the icon theme on the
primary(first) monitor. But, on the second monitor both icon theme and
window decorator are affected. It seems that the icon theme and the gtk
theme roll back to the default gnome icon theme and gtk theme (maybe
Raleigh), respectively, and then come back to the normal theme. Changing
volume using media keys shouldn't affect any component of the desktop
theme in any way. If I turn off the compiz effect, it simply doesn't
happen. It only occurs with compiz effect turned on. It also doesn't
happen if I change the volume any other way, e.g., using volume control
on the panel or custom keyboard setup. It only happens with the
combination of separate monitor setup + compiz turned on + media keys.
Here is the version info; kernel: 2.6.24-24-generic, nvidia-glx:
1:96.43.05, compiz: 1:0.7.4. Thanks in advance.
