Public bug reported: When using Ubuntu Classic(gnome-session-fallback), the gnome-panel looks strange because the background of the applets isn't the same as the background of the panel itself. I attached a screenshot with the default desktop theme, and a snippet of the code of the theme(Ambiance, the default one).
The theme defines the background color of the panel and applets as a gradient and the problem happens there. Gnome-panel is not applying correctly the background color of the panel as a gradient. Instead it fills the background with the second solid color of the gradient. In the image the problem may not seem evident, so I changed the colors of the theme to have a better contrast. You can check the problem now in the "changed_colors.png" image. I stress out that this is an obvious bug that immediately is seen by everyone that uses Ubuntu Classic.
