Bug Description

During an test installation of Oneiric dated 2011-08-02 it was noticed that the top paned during the installation was barely visible. It almost looks to be cut off or sitting too high on the display.

Maybe this is similar to what happened in Natty, where the panel indicator ABI's need a bump?

Steps to reproduce:
1) Download Oneiric AMD64 Desktop .iso
2) Burn image to installer media
3) Begin installation by selecting 'install ubuntu' from the main menu.

Expected results:
I should be able to see the panel

Actual results:
The panel appears to be cut off. It is barely visible and I cannot make out any of the icons in the panel (if they are there).

This looks a lot like:

..where an ABI bump was needed to get the panel back to normal again.

The same happened to me with the I386 ISO, there was only a thin line instead of the top panel (so it's not architecture-specific), and clicking where the menus should have been (top right corner) revealed the menus.
