And that's the reason. The bug only affects notification area applets. It's
probably some issue between gnome-panel, the notification area, and the Gtk+
Engine (in particular, themes which use the Murrine engine from git seem to work
fine). I don't know why some applications work and why some don't. But if we
knew, then the bug would get fixed really easily. The theme I am using is
"elementary-remix"[1], and it has a gradient background. One of my posts in bug
I linked earlier in this thread has a screenshot showing Banshee's icon working
just fine with it.
