REGARDING MY BUG PACKAGE SELECTION
__________

I'm not really sure which package the issue will be found in, but after
looking at the recommended *link (below), I will guess that it's either
compiz or nautilus:

"If your problem is with window management (for example, focus
stealing); If you are using compiz (visual effects), the package is
compiz.

or

"If your problem is with the actual desktop (for example, with desktop
icons): In Ubuntu and Edubuntu, the desktop is managed by the file
browser, nautilus."

PROBLEM
__________

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - 32-bit
Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 × 2
Graphics: GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M/integrated/SSE2/3DNOW!

About 1 week ago my pop balloons looked fine when applications such as
Empathy would use them to notify me of mail, or Ubuntu One of competed
uploads, etc. Now when the notification appear over a light background
color (white for example) the notification is barely readable as the
entire balloon is pretty much washed out with the light background
color. Please note that when I hover the mouse pointer near the bubble,
it begins to take on the color it should have.

NOTE: If I use Ubuntu 2D it works perfectly, just as it should.

At the recommendation of an associate (who is also experiencing this
problem), I tried installing and using notifyosdconfig to adjust the
properties of the balloons, but even if I change the settings to 0
transparency, they still have the issue and are just a bit more readable
than when I have various transparency levels set.

You  can see screenshots of the issue in this thread I created elsewhere
here in Ubunutu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2033194
