Description marduk 2005-11-17 01:59:09 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
With GNOME 2.12 I was able to use a PNG with alpha transparency as a background
in GNOME Panels, but with gnome-panel 2.13.2 they are not rendered correctly on
the desktop.  Solid color with transparency works fine,however.

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

I am having the same issue with the recent release of gnome-panel 2.12.2
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2005-12-15 06:57:34 UTC 
It does work here. What distribution are you using?
Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-15 08:37:02 UTC 
is that theme dependend? what architecture/video driver do you use?
Comment 6 marduk 2005-12-16 00:17:48 UTC 
Seems not to matter what theme I've tried (Clearlooks, Bluecurve, etc.)  This is
Gentoo Linux.  I'm using the closed-source Nvidia driver on an AMD64. 
Everything is compiled with gcc 3.4.4 with CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -Os
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"

All things being the same, it works just fine on gnome-panel 2.12.1.  But I
experience this problem on anything newer than that.

The only other thing I can think of to tell you is I have
/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop turned off.
