Comment 6 for bug 284975

Exactly. If in the Panel Properties is not set "None. Use system theme"
when user change theme, the panel is not refreshed correctly because
persists the background image in Panel Properties and not takes the
system theme.
This can be very frustrating for user because might not know how to
solve it.
