Bug Description

Release: Linux Mint Debian Edition 32-bit (latest updates installed, as of 19/01/2011)
         Linux Mint LXDE Edition 32-bit + Metacity (instead of Openbox) (latest updates installed, as of 19/03/2011)
         (Well, actually, all Linux Mint editions. ...)

With the Mint-X theme active, menu bars don't look properly in Terminal (gnome-terminal) and Pidgin. I've traced this back to lines 1186-1188 in /usr/share/themes/Mint-X-Metal/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, reproduced here:

widget_class "*TerminalWindow*GtkMenuBar" style "gradient-menubar"
widget "*<PurpleMain>" style "gradient-menubar"
widget "*tmw-menubar" style "gradient-menubar"

The problem disappears if those 3 lines are commented out.

What happens: the menu bar is lighter than the lower gradient color of the title bar, if that makes sense.
What should happen: the menu bar should "continue" the title bar's gradient.

I encountered this problem twice already; in fact, I posted the above workaround on my blog (http://bit.ly/edT5rf) in early December.

Sorry for the delay, Launchpad apparently doesn't send me e-mail notifications.
