Please uninstall mate-netbook on the system that's showing this  
behaviour (or if that is not installed, maybe you have "maximus"  
installed?).

Once mate-netbook and maximus are uninstalled, the browser buttons  
should look ok again.

If you find that this fixes your issue, please close this bug with  
your next mail and tag it with "wontfix". (Or is there a tag  
"not-a-bug"???).

Mike
