Comment 3 for bug 476170

@Allan Caeg : I suggested a separate bug but , didnt mean in Humanity :)
This is not a theme bug. But rather a gnome panel bug , pls see the related upstream bug report.

As for this being a reason to not use the monochrome icons in the default install . I dont see this as a valid reason.
From your screenshot the two misbehaving apps are gnome-do and rhythmbox.
 - Gnome-do is not part of the default install
 - I'm not sure how rhythmbox is starting earlier than the power manager. This is not supposed to happen. [well atleast i'm not able to reproduce this behavior]
