I was forced to stop using AWN because of a bug when I have compositioning enabled. I was struck by how hard it was to distinguish between the different applications I had running. I found that many times when switching between apps, it took me many seconds to recognize the right app.
When not using AWN most icons just are grey.
I'm attaching a screenshot of "bottom panel" with AWN and a normal gnome panel.
