Never filed a bug report, hope this is correct.  I've been tracking this 
and not seen this mentioned (that I can remember) so perhaps it will 
shed some light.

I have solid backgrounds on my Firestarter, VLC, and Banshee icons.  I 
have since installed RGBA transparency on Ubuntu 10.04.  Once in use the 
three above tray icons were corrected in appearance - that is, they 
gained a clear background - and all other icons were screwed up.  The 
icons that were fine, like Miro, Network Monitor Applet, Parcellite, 
Dropbox, and so on all gained a dark gray background.

Since this was even uglier than before I blacklisted the notification 
area from using rgba transparency and everything returned to "normal".

I'm no expert, but the before mentioned "alpha transparency issue" 
appears to be simply a difference between Ubuntu's pseudo transparency 
and the "real" transparency of rgba.  I have found no way to make the 
two work together in the notification area, it's one or the other I 
guess, but it's a clear line to the prblem.  Maybe in 10.10, when Ubuntu 
will supposedly have rgba by default it will be fixed?
