This bug is not caused by gnome-panel nor by compiz! 1. Installed rairing and gnome-session-fallback. Gnome-panel is ok. compiz version is some as currently on my saucy install. 2. Opened sources.list and changed raring to saucy. Run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. There was many packages kept back. Tried to restart, install was broken. :( 3. Started to install some of kept back packages - xserver-xorg-core. Installed many other packages, some removed. Than i was able to do another apt-get upgrade. After that there was still 143 kept back packages, gnome-panel one of them. Rebooted, now I was able to login, but now gnome-panel has white color.
in upgrade process gnome-panel, compiz versions didn't change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1196177 Title: Compiz - Gnome-Panel White Square (Gnome-Fallback-Session/Flashback) Status in Compiz: Confirmed Status in Compiz Core: Confirmed Status in Compiz Core Ubuntu: New Status in Compiz Workarounds Plugins: New Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: White squares appears in blank sections of gnome panel at Ubuntu Startup and during window Minimize / Maximize Actions.

If its not, repeat the Minimize and Maximize actios to rise up the bug) Temporary WorkArround: Enable "Show Hide Buttons" under Panel Properties. This will "transfer" the buggy white color effect to the sidebuttons in the panel.
