Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Since recently, the color depth on my EEE PC netbook is set to a too low
value in Natty. As there is no GUI tool to change that, this can become
a major issue for the end user. You have to picture how ugly it really
is. All gradients, such as that one in the exposé view (Super+E) is
really graded and not smooth at all. A prospective user would just find
Ubuntu very ugly and revert to his previous OS.

Hopefully it is visible on the attached screenshot. I would like to
propose high priority for this.
