Bug Description

Usually it works as expected, but today I opened a few files and noticed that the “File” menu was transparent. It still works, but you have to guess where the needed menu option is located in order to click in the right place. :)

Also, when I wanted to make a screenshot of this with GIMP (as it can include the mouse pointer and has the built-in delay feature which is necessary for making screenshots of menus in Ubuntu), I noticed that the GIMP’s window was fully transparent, too (even when the screenshot was loaded, the window just resized, but still was completely transparent).
