Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Show desktop applet has gray background outside of icon area that does not respect panel colors.

To reproduce: Set panel background to black no transparency.

Expected result: Icon should be surrounded by black as with all other icons on the gnome panel.

Actual result: Icon is surrounded with gray.

To fix: Change the show desktop icon to use transparency instead of gray around the icon proper, or make this configurable.

PS: I could easily fix this and submit a patch if someone could point me in the right direction for the code, however I'm really busy with school at the moment and don't have the time to hunt down the right repository etc.

Attached is a screen shot of the problem. I included the entire menu bar to contrast it with the other icons (not for instance firefox has a black border around the icon as is expected).

This bug appears still to be going strong five years (in Gnome) on... very very ugly and illogical behavior!
