Bug Description
There are 2 applications in my Launcher (Smuxi and Rhythmbox, from official repositories) that randomly change their background color every few hours, or sometimes every few minutes (if I had to guess). There are two different states for these icons, of which I have attached screenshots. The background is either green-yellow (which I believe is the correct color), or plain white.
This never happened with any other icons in my launcher. Please fix, it's driving me nuts :(
I'm guessing that either the background algorithm is non-deterministic for some reason, or you have an uninitialized variable somewhere?

I can now reproduce the bug consistently:
- Restart compiz (compiz --replace): Icon backgrounds are now white
- Switch to a different window using Alt-Tab switcher: Icon backgrounds are now green-yellow
