Bug Description

I've modified my desktop panel to be transparent and use a dark background. I've used a .gtkrc-2,0 that defines the font color as white:
style "panel"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
# fg[PRELIGHT] = "#000000"
# fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
# fg[SELECTED] = "#000000"
# fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#8A857C"
# bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
# bg[PRELIGHT] = "#dfdfdf"
# bg[ACTIVE] = "#D0D0D0"
# bg[SELECTED] = "#D8BB75"
# bg[INSENSITIVE] = "#EFEFEF"
# base[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
# base[PRELIGHT] = "#EFEFEF"
# base[ACTIVE] = "#D0D0D0"
# base[SELECTED] = "#DAB566"
# base[INSENSITIVE] = "#E8E8E8"
# text[NORMAL] = "#161616"
# text[PRELIGHT] = "#000000"
# text[ACTIVE] = "#000000"
# text[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
# text[INSENSITIVE] = "#8A857C"
}
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel"
class "*Panel*" style "panel"
widget_class "*Mail*" style "panel"
class "*notif*" style "panel"
class "*Notif*" style "panel"
class "*Tray*" style "panel"
class "*tray*" style "panel"

the switch user panel doesn't reuse it, so it it hard to see it.

Do I miss something in my gtkrc-2.0 file ?

I can confirm this issue. While other panel applets, such as the clock applet, will follow custom .gtkrc settings for panel. The fast-user-switch-applet does not. I also have a .gtkrc setting the panel text white, but the text for the fast-user-switch-applet remains black.

I can confirm this bug. Note that it is not just a problem with custom .gtkrc files, it occurs with regular themes too. For example, if you install the Murrina-LiNsta theme you'll see the problem.

From the upstream report, a workaround is to put the following in your .gtkrc:

widget "*fast-user-switch-applet*" style "panel"

where "panel" is whatever style is being appled to PanelApplet widgets.

I can confirm that that works.
