Description mannheim89 2011-03-27 15:47:13 UTC 
This was bug #588255. Running Ubuntu 10.04 and banshee 1.9.6, using the Notification Area icon, the background is not transparent: it appears white against my dark top panel.

I think this bug was reintroduced by the commit 88604c9667512f43edce9abcf08fd4a096917b3d, "Workaround X BadMatch crash (bgo#641515)"
Comment 1 Bertrand Lorentz 2011-03-27 16:20:15 UTC 
You're right, this regression is caused by the workaround for bug #641515.
Apparently it only happens on recent Ubuntu systems.

Sadly, this is the best solution we have found for now : better be ugly on a non default setup (Ubuntu uses the Sound Menu by default), than crashes on the default setup in upcoming Ubuntu Natty.

As a temporary fix for you, you can edit /usr/bin/banshee and remove the following lines :

# Work around NowPlaying/webkit crash (bgo#641515)
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

Comment 3 David Muir 2011-04-15 02:45:44 UTC 
Sound Menu wasn't added until 10.10, so we are using the default setup for 10.04. Will try the workaround.
Comment 4 Bertrand Lorentz 2011-05-07 19:44:47 UTC 
The workaround for bug #641515 is now removed in git master, as it apparently is not needed anymore after some other changes.
So the notification area should be transparent again.

I'm marking this as fixed, feel free to report any other bugs you might find.
