Probably you changed theme, or image for the panel

Yes, system theme color is being used, to create icon background.
This is the original bugfix regarding white background of notification area
icon
http://www.stardict.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=246

Try using system theme as panel background.
(right click > properties > background > none)

The only way i found to use a different panel background icon without this
issue,
is to recompile stardict using as notification area icon, a custom one with
proper background
(you can create it, using original stardict icon and your actual panel
background)
