I have searched all over for my specific problem and cannot find anyone who has the same issue, much less an answer.
I have had no issue with the panel's transparency in previous Ubuntu versions. This all started w/ Natty.
I set up transparency (right click on panel, Nav through Properties > Background, Check "Solid Color," slide bar to my preferred opacity, & click "Close."
The panel looks as follows:

But when I restart the computer it goes grey:

killall command doesn't work, I have moved the panel, I have created a new one. The "closest" I found were people complaining (back in December) that the theme switched to grey. But I don't think the panel is taking up another theme, it is simply not painting the transparent image.
I didn't like Unity so I disabled it (still installed).
I also removed indicator-me and indicator-messenger via synaptic as I have since Lucid Lynx. I removed the black bubble notifications and removed the shutdown/logout/restart confirmation/countdown prompt w/ a couple of code-hacks I found online as I have since Jaunty Jackalope.
I also tried to change the opacity though an option inside Compiz's "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation". This also made AWN icons transparent so I undid it.
I use the "Glossy P" theme w/ "Snow Apple" icons.
If you guys need any more information, please let me know.
Thank you.
