My guess is this is either a bug in the GTK theme engine you are using to in the Unity compositor, seeing as Unity is still fairly new and Exaile relies on GTK to do the heavy lifting for composite support. Feel free to reopen if you have evidence to the contrary.

I seem to have the same problem. Not sure if this makes any difference to the previous comment but I am using the classic desktop on Ubuntu 11.04.

I can see the buttons when the window is maximised, but if I resize the window I can only see the buttons when I hover the cursor over them.

I have had this problem regularly with the newer versions of Exaile, I know that it is not in Unity or the GTK+ theme because I don't use Unity, and it happens regardless of which theme I have set.
