Answer 1

okay it is solved.
using different theme for google earth than bespin solves the problem.
just add in the Exec entry of the .desktop file the '-style oxygen' flag
the file is located in /usr/share/applications/googleearth.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Google Earth
GenericName=3D planet viewer
Comment=Explore, search and discover the planet
Exec=/usr/bin/googleearth -style oxygen %f
Terminal=false
MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/googleearth-icon.png
Categories=Application;Network
MimeType=application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml;application/vnd.google-earth.kmz;application/earthviewer;application/keyhole
or change the google-earth launcher /usr/bin/googleearth
and add the flag. should be something as simple as
#!/bin/sh
GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH="/opt/google-earth"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd "${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}/"
exec "./googleearth-bin" -style oxygen $*
