Yes, it has to do this because GTK's theme engine design is badly broken.
The widget is rendered *twice*, one time over a white background, the other
time over a black one and both results are compared in userspace (2x XGetImage)

Hopefully they'll change it to a pure cairo-based interface in GTK3, however as
it seems now there isn't a lot of movement in its development :-/
