I think that is from the GTK rendering engine issue with compiz, I have
ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 on my PC, and I only get this problem on 10.10 with
compiz

Its clear to me that's happening because of all these ubuntu distros are
sharing a single /home. As there are only common settings and configs, they
are conflicting each others: example: as my latest settings are related to
natty (and work properly), when i run maverick again then the panel is
broken (icons desappeared). Readding the missing icons in maverick, then
reopen natty, and the icons are duplicated now on natty !!!!
