Public bug reported:

The image byte order on big endian hardware is incorrect and this is
evident in the Ubuntu MATE 15.10 alpha 1 and daily images where many
bitmap images are corrupt. This issue has recently been fixed in Debian.

Please consider applying the associated upstream commit [1] in Ubuntu
(also attached as a patch) or merge the Debian (unstable) release of
