that would be because it is using an svg that doesn't cover the whole panel 
(the black bit in the corner) but there isn't a composition manager (CM) 
running.

the solution we have to this is providing svg's that do cover the full area of 
the widget in the opaque/ folder of the theme. i don't think we ship a file 
in opaque/widgets/panel-background.svg and so you get the one that really 
only works with a CM.

solution: make a square edged svg and put it in opaque =)

what's cool is that if a CM appears at runtime, it will switch to the nice 
rounded edges svg automatically (without the panel even knowing =).. and if 
the CM disappears, it goes back to the opaque/ version. whee..
