Okay, I'll go through that bug report. Since it can be worked around
easily, not a big deal.

I have attached a screenshot of the "cruder" icons. Look at the
gnome-volume-control-applet and the xfce4-power-manager icons in the
tray. Earlier these used to be much bigger with smoother features. I

pixels).
