Re: draw applet without theme

[Antony J Mee <A J Mee ncl ac uk>]

I'm using a fairly standard "Simple" theme and I see a very slightly 
darker grey (relative to the notification area) in the background  of 
the nm-applet icon when deactivated. It is very subtle, to the point of 
making me wonder if it's an illusion.  I never found out why when I went 
poking around the code but maybe that is a menu bar artefact too? Anyone 
else see that?
