Hi Sebastian,

I have now narrowed this bug a bit.
It seems to be clear that it is not a bug in compiz nor a bug in emerald.

I removed the emerald and compiz packages completely from my system.
Before that I turned to metacity compositing (metacity --replace).
Then I rebooted the system.
After that I upgraded the libcairo2-1.8.10 to libcairo2-1.9.9~git20100620.b8051ee9-0ubuntu0sarvatt2~lucid.
And I can confirm the bug is still there.

You can see the issues from the screenshots I have attached above:
- issue in the title bar comes only up when emerald is used (because metacity does not blend title bar colors).
- issues in scrollbar remain even emerald and compiz removed.
- issues in buttons (section, status, origin, custom filters, search results) remain even emerald and compiz removed.

Just compare screenshots (from desktop with synaptic open) libcairo2-1.8.10.png and libcairo2-1.9.9.png.
It really is a bug concerning color blends and the older package libcairo2-1.9.8 and the newer libcairo-1.9.9,
but not the stable package libcairo2-1.8.10.
