For once Google came through I think -- everyone and his brother
is complaining about this, and the workaround seems to be to go
to the X11 preferences, set "colors" to "thousands" and restart X11.
Here's a brief note about it:


According to <http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12995>, this is a misunderstanding 
between gtk, cairo, and X11 about the bit depth of "millions of colors", 24 or 32. Please file a bug with 
Apple's bugreporter so that it gets more weight.

A reported workaround seems to be to set the output bit depth in the X11 Preferences to "Thousands of 
colors".
