Description of problem: Often when I log in the notification area is just a grey block. My panel is slightly transparent, but the grey-block notification area has no transparency. The status icons it contains are clickable, but not visible -- if I can guess where one is, I can click or right-click it. Logging out and logging back in usually cures it, but this morning it took 4 attempts. Some sort of race condition? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.28.0-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Often.
