  How to Reproduce:

  Normally after distro-upgrade or a clean install, since the 1st Boot
  you'll see a white square in unussed portion of gnome panels (totally
  white if the panel is clean)

  Steps:

  1.- Launch some application (firefox in this case)
  2.- Left Mouse Click on Firefo's Window List Box (This Will Minimize Firefox to Panel)
  3.- At this Step, maybe the White panell has disappeared ( Now the color is normal according to Ambiance Theme )
  4.- Click Again in Firefox's Windows List Box ( The Window must Maximize and the White Square in Gnome Panel appears Again. 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.

  How to Reproduce with Adwaita theme:
  1) Open file for edit:
  /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

  2) Add these lines end of file:
  .gnome-panel-menu-bar,
  PanelApplet > GtkMenuBar.menubar,
  PanelToplevel,
  PanelWidget,
  PanelAppletFrame,
  PanelApplet {
      background-image: -gtk-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(shade(#3c3b37, 1.5)), to(shade(#3c3b37, 1.05)));
  }

  3. Switch gtk theme to Adwaita. If already using it, restart gnome-
  panel.

  4. gnome-panel has black background instead of gradient. menu bar and
  indicator applet complete looks like it should.

  5. Opening panel properties and switching background from none to
  solid color and back will bring gradient to whole panel.
