This message showed up for a user using a Citrix terminal server.   He had
configured Citrix for a "16-bit" display, but in this case, it apparently uses
only 5 bits for each color.  He was able to work around the problem by
selecting 
a "24 bit" display, but he prefers 16-bit for "work at home" due to the
improved performance.


If it helps, I was able to reproduce the problem using a VNC server started
with:

  vncserver -depth 15 -pixelformat RGB555

(I understand that this is an unusual VNC configuration, and it's easy to use
something else.   This is just for testing, and simulating the Citrix case. 
It's apparently not possible for the Citrix users to select an alternative
format)
