Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

Window corners are round, so there is a little bit of transparency in the corner. To establish this transparency effect, metacity shows the wallpaper underneath the 'transparent' part of the corner in the transparent part of the corner. But the gnome panel (when on top) drops a shadow on top of the wallpaper and because there is no real transparency this shadow isn't shown in the window corner. As a result you can clearly see the contrast between the window corner and the wallpaper.
I included a screenshot.

metacity 2.30.3
Fully updated Ubuntu 11.04, running in Ubuntu Classic mode (simply without unity)
