Bug Description
All text in the Gnome toolbar, Panel, workspace switcher, etc. has subpixel rendering applied as appropriate for a BGR screen, even though my monitor has subpixels in the far more common RGB order. This results in white-on-black text having distracting red fringing on the left and blue on the right. No apps are affected (including the Settings dialog).
