XFCE Systray icons not transparent / white background
Up-to-date arch here with XFCE; look at this screenshot: 
The same happens with all GTK themes, and I have installed / tried A LOT of them.
Does anyone else have this problem?

Okay, I found out that the bug does NOT happen with GTK3 applications (transmission, for example). Most of my programs are still gtk2 though.

Re: XFCE Systray icons not transparent / white background
Does it happen with a different panel (tint2, lxpanel, etc)?
$ pkill xfce4-panel
$ xfce4-panel &Does this fix it?

Re: XFCE Systray icons not transparent / white background
Holy cow! Fixed after doing
$ pkill xfce4-panel
$ xfce4-panel &
the odd thing is that I've been having this problem for weeks (or months?) and I reboot daily. Maybe it was related to the theme after all, but after switching to a "working" theme I had to kill panel for the change to take fully effect?

Or restart X, preferably.

Re: XFCE Systray icons not transparent / white background
Do you have a compositor running?
/usr/bin/drinking

Nope. I have XFWM without active compositing.
