Desktop theme is `oxygen' and I have a darkish image as wallpaper. 
A scaled down version can be seen here:

OK, nothing here.

When I first tried I got:
    PID TTY          TIME CMD
   2233 ?        00:00:01 kmix

I then killed that pid, ran kmix again and got this:
    PID TTY          TIME CMD
  12896 pts/11   00:00:00 kmix

I still do not see anything in system area however if I click on the
kmix icon under `Multimedia'/sound mixer

It now comes up and I see the offerings.

Thanks  (still nothing in system area)
