Summary: using gradients menu highlight not displaying correctly

Initial Comment:
This is my first bug report, so bear with me, Currently running antiX- M8.2, in icewm version 1.2.35-1 all themes worked perfectly, when upgraded to icewm 1.2.37+1.3.4pre2-2 some themes, with gradients, the menu background is fine, but the menu highlight causes a sort of double vision, picking up the previous entry and moving it over the top of the next entry that is higlighted, if I use a # on the gradient line, then the double vision goes away, but instead of a solid highlight I get a sort of striped bar. I have attached a snapshot of each to clarify my poor skills at explaining this anomaly.

@s_i_m: as far as you know? What's the source of your knowledge?

Of course this bug hits the Debian users, because AFAICS Debian packages
are the first ones using 1.3-branch on large scale... and this issue comes
straight from the 1.3-branch, so obviously it appeared in the Debian
package right after switching to it.

It needs to be fixed RSN but my time is limited.

There is this Debian bug report about the same problem:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544222. Anyone interested
must go and complain there (hint: learn how to use reportbug). It is
pointless to report this at sourceforge as the bug was introduced by the
maintainer of the debian package and is, AFAIK, purely debian-related.

Guess nobody is looking into this - there are complaints all over the net
and there have been complaints on the Icewm mailing list.
I have tried many gradient-based themes and they all do the same thing.
I'm running th latest from the Debian testing repositories.

I get exactly the same thing...and someone else on the IceWm mailing list
reported the same thing. Any gradient theme causes the problem...in fact
some themes drag the CPU to its knees and IceWm becomes unresponsive.

Doublevision, nice term here *g*, but don't worry, you are not drunk. I see
the same errors. And there is another similar  appearing in following
situation:

a) use a gradient theme
b) open the PSI client
c) open a chat window, then close the chat window

Result: some window entry shapes in the task bar get pixel garbage sprayed
all over them.
