Most of us  ;-)

Many themes draw a small gradient on the button of menu items, to set
the menu apart from the surrounding UI.  NM embeds its tray icon in a
menu (to get menu-like behavior -- see Dan's earlier email) and thus
your theme's gradient is drawn.

As Dan said, we'd like to get rid of the gradient, but want to keep the
menu-like behavior.
