Homosapien/Sorbet close button broken when it is the only button displayed (Metacity)

Binary package hint: community-themes

After running Update Manager the morning of 4/9, which corresponded to when Beta 2 was released, the Homosapien and Sorbet Close button loses its color background when it is the only button, ie: no min and max buttons (ex: Appearance Preferences menu). The button work as intended when all 3 are displayed. Tested this on 2 boxes. Someone else confirm?

In testing further I'm getting some inconsistent behavior. In two builds of Lucid, I have windows that have a single button (close) such as Appearance Preferences and Shutdown confirmation windows. Then I have two other builds, and those same windows have two buttons (close, maximize). When a window has a single button, the behavior I specified above holds. When two buttons show, the correct behavior is exhibited. All but one build is a clean install from the beta 2 CD. Can anyone tell me why I'm getting two different behaviors?

Difference is Metacity vs Compiz. Behavior is as intended in Compiz, broken in Metacity. If this is now in the wrong group, would some admin please make sure this is properly assigned. We are getting close to release date.

Still broken in final release

Here's an updated metacity-theme-1.xml that works around the 'no background' patch applied in Lucid - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/535088/comments/34. Unfortunately this only works when using metacity and is still broken in compiz which I assume is a compiz issue?

It works correctly for me in Compiz, Metacity has always been the problem. Will there be a fix that get pushed to Ubuntu's repositories community-themes?
