Bug Description

Open dconf-editor and navigate to the path mentioned in the summary. It suggests the following values.

rgba
rgb
bgr
vrgb
vbgr

The first option is invalid and should be none.

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/XSettingsRegistry/
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-xft-rgba

Key /com/canonical/unity-greeter/xft-rgba also shows the correct possible values.

Another way to set.

$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xsettings/rgba-order "'rgba'"
$ grep rgba <(xrdb -query)
Xft.rgba: rgba

This can confuse some applications, maybe worse.

There is also a minor companion bug because the description doesn't mention none as allowed value.
