Missing window menu icon with some themes

[slickvguy]

When you go to System/Preferences/Appearance/ and the Appearance Preferences window displays the graphical representations of the themes, on most of them the gnome image-missing.png is displayed where the window menu icon (far-left on the titlebar) should be displayed. I never had this happen with Intrepid, but I do have this situation now on Jaunty. It's not just with new or added themes, it's the system's default installed themes as well. If you search around the net you'll see that this is a pretty common problem. Is a .png getting deleted, or is it something else in the process that is 'broken'?

Many of my apps display their proper menu window icons (like nautilus, ff3, etc.) - but others do not. I assume the ones that don't are trying to use a system or default icon rather than their own and that it is missing?

Here are two screenshots I grabbed off of google to show you the difference.

Not missing...

So the question is...how to fix this? What is the .png that should be displayed and is apparently missing?

Anyone?

I've recently have had the same problem with a lost "windows system menu". But I don't think it have something to do with a missing .png or something like that.

At first, just try and lower your visual effects to "none". Hopefully that will bring your system menu back. After that you can apply whatever theme and visual effect you want...
