[Bug 403135] Re: Notification area icon wrongly rendered/uses bg_color as a background (multiple apps)

 

In my case :
Lucid Lynx 32bits, default theme, nVidia card with Xinerama enabled : all (as far as I know) apps in the notification-area have a white background. (If Xinerama is disabled, the bug disappear in my configuration...)

I've tried to fix this by modifying the source code of gnome-panel (see
attachment) : I commented out things in applets>notification-area>na-
tray-child.c>na_tray_child_realize(GtkWidget *widget) in order to always
use the default "alpha drawing mode" (it is said that "the icon will sit
on top of an ugly gray box"). This worked for me, and for other people.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1427968&page=5 post #48
(I'm seb_42) for more information.

However, in my configuration, this fix seems only to work for the
default theme. So it's clearly not a clean solution, but I thought I had
to post my "modifications" here, in case it can help.

** Attachment added: "commented source code (and binary for 10.04 32bits) that work for the default theme of Lucid"
