[Bug 885691] [NEW] gnome-panel doesn't apply gradient in background color

 

Public bug reported:

When using Ubuntu Classic(gnome-session-fallback), the gnome-panel looks strange because the background of the applets isn't the same as the background of the panel itself.
I attached a screenshot with the default desktop theme, and a snippet of the code of the theme(Ambiance, the default one).

The theme defines the background color of the panel and applets as a
gradient and the problem happens there. Gnome-panel is not applying
correctly the background color of the panel as a gradient. Instead it
fills the background with the second solid color of the gradient.

In the image the problem may not seem evident, so I changed the colors
of the theme to have a better contrast. You can check the problem now in
the "changed_colors.png" image.

I stress out that this is an obvious bug that immediately is seen by
everyone that uses Ubuntu Classic.
