Bug Description

The dynamic background colour of the Unity launcher and overlay results in some totally hideous colours, which make it impossible to use Unity.
Since I am using the special slideshow wallpaper which cycles between the different wallpapers, the colour keeps changing and I haven't seen one yet which actually works.

See the attached screenshot for the latest in horrible colours...
