[Bug 1313877] Re: Launcher icons randomly change color

 

I can now reproduce the bug consistently: 
 - Restart compiz (compiz --replace): Icon backgrounds are now white
 - Switch to a different window using Alt-Tab switcher: Icon backgrounds are now green-yellow

Title:
  Launcher icons randomly change color

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There are 2 applications in my Launcher (Smuxi and Rhythmbox, from
  official repositories) that randomly change their background color
  every few hours, or sometimes every few minutes (if I had to guess).
  There are two different states for these icons, of which I have
  attached screenshots. The background is either green-yellow (which I
  believe is the correct color), or plain white.

  This never happened with any other icons in my launcher. Please fix,
  it's driving me nuts :(

  I'm guessing that either the background algorithm is non-deterministic
  for some reason, or you have an uninitialized variable somewhere?
