Hi Michael,

Thanks for filing this bug report and providing the proposed solution.
I myself also have some troubles with certain themes but those are themes not 
provided by Ubuntu.
In your proposal you uncomment this line:

        # Glow the tasklist by changing the color, instead of overlaying it 
with a rectangle
        WnckTasklist   ::fade-overlay-rect    = 0

>From some doc at
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes/StyleProperties the
fade-overlay-rect property is described as:

Name: fade-overlay-rect
Type: boolean   
Default: TRUE
Nick: Overlay a rectangle, instead of modifying the background.
Description: Compatibility mode for pixbuf engine themes that cannot react to 
color changes. If enabled, a rectangle with the correct color will be drawn on 
top of the button. Default: TRUE 

which makes me believe this solution may work in certain situations
(pixbuf engine) though not always. In other words the authors of the
theme will have had a reason to comment the line out.
