I'm not seeing this issue on precise with the default theme. Perhaps it's specific to oneiric, or to the adawaita theme?
** Summary changed: - Panel has odd spacing, colour artefacts + Panel has odd spacing, colour artefacts with Adwaita theme -- 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/881524 Title: Panel has odd spacing, colour artefacts with Adwaita theme Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The GNOME Panel, when used as the GNOME Classic session type, does not space out icons correctly and displays an artefact of some sort at the edge of the notification area (this can be seen in the attached screenshot). This screenshot shows the Adwaita theme being used, with a semi-transparent white background for the top panel; the launcher and system tray icons are larger than they should be, with one icon obviously too big. The volume and network applets are too widely spaced out, there being no obvious reason for the blank space between the system tray and the volume control, and between that and the network icon.
