Ok, i've got the new package which pulled the adwaita theme and
it is much better. I'm hoping more choice/themes will be
available in future release (white themes hurt my eyes :o).

As Kevin sugest, enabling 'gnome services' in the session menu
solve it. Thanks Kevin !

Is there any bug reports I could read about this ?

I'm still having the issue : switching back and forth between the
default gtk+2 theme (clearlooks, adwaita or whatever) and the
xfce4-dusk theme triggers some fuzzy visual artefacts around the
systray and the gnome-sound-applet icon.

Perhaps this is due to the new gnome-sound-applet icon or perhaps
to my graphic driver (the radeon evergreen chip driver is still in
alpha stage).

Coul someone try to reproduce it (by switching the gtk2 themes) ?
I'd like to know if I should fill a bug for it or not.

Right :(

I will check xfce bugzilla for this.
