Gnome System Monitor graphs miss their horizontal and vertical axes

[Leo H]

System:

Xubuntu 13.10, 32 bit, fully patched
Gnome System Monitor package installed: gnome-system-monitor 3.8.2.1-2
CPU: Intel Atom N270 (Netbook)
Graphics (output from lspci | grep VGA): 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Issue:

System Monitor > Resources tab presents three graphs (one each for "CPU History", "Memory and Swap History", and "Network History"). Each of these graphs normally has a narrow border on all four edges, a labeled horizontal axis, a labeled vertical axis, and the graph itself with the moving traces on a white field with a grid.

However, in each of the graphs, the horizontal and the vertical axes as well as the borders are missing. The areas where these elements should be positioned are instead filled with a uniform black colour. (The fields with the moving traces are unaffected and behave as expected.)

Note: This bug appears irrespective of the chosen combination of settings (including varying the update interval) in the Preferences panel > Resources tab of System Monitor.

Note: This same bug was also present in gnome-system-monitor under xubuntu 11.10. It had been patched in xubuntu 12.04, but it reappeared in xubuntu 13.04 and remains in xubuntu 13.10.
