Hallo
clicking on the user-session, sound or mail icon on the systray, the menues appearing with the background gray instead of black.
This afflict Nautilus but not Firefox or Banshee
Also, for just one time, I've seen this also in the jockey window, even called from the icon on systray (white written instead of black on default gray background).
See attached screenshots

Thanks
Fabio

Confirmed

I found a "solution" that might be helpful to those fixing the bugs. On my Quantal system I downloaded the "ambiance-colors" theme, then the latest Ubuntu Tweak (0.73, testing). I used Ubuntu Tweak to try to apply the ambiance-blue theme; the window theme applied just fine, but not the Gtk theme, so I used the reset button to undo the change to the Gtk theme. After that, all the other menus mentioned in this bug, such as the indicator menus in the panel, worked properly. This includes the Nautilus menus. So it appears that there is something to messing with the Gtk theme and resetting it that fixes the problem.

Seems to be same as bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1015488

Yes, and bug 1018022 is another report of the same problem. That report has a developer assigned and working on the problem, so I'll dupe the bugs to that.
