I can confirm this as well: top panel always looks awful after a reboot; generally takes numerous logout/login cycles to get clean theme; fast system w/nVidia, i7 and SSD:

Maverick/10.10 64-bit
System76 Serval Pro (SER-P6) laptop
Core i7-840QM Processor ( 45nm, 8MB L3 Cache, 1.86GHz )
8 GB - DDR3 1333 MHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 285M Graphics with 1GB GDDR3 Video Memory
160 GB Intel X25-M Solid State Drive

I'm attaching screen shots of both the good and bad look of my top panel. I'm using the default Maverick Ambiance theme.

FWIW, the following workaround was posted at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9969103&postcount=6
    sudo mkdir /usr/share/gdm/nostart
    sudo mv /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop /usr/share/gdm/nostart/
    # logout/login
