Yesterday the desktop

icons in that bar, the drop down menus aren't legible either.
Saw the same problem with Gnome Shell on my wife's desktop. It had been
working fine for a couple of weeks, then started in with this. In our
case, rebooting would fix it, but it would often occur after hibernate
or suspend, and once started, a log out or reboot was required to fix
it. Eventually we just switched her to Xfce to get around the problem,
since hibernate/suspend was deemed more important than having the latest
and greatest desktop environment [sic], but I will be interested to
hear if there are any real solutions.
