You are extremely generous calling that "text".

The hardware is SyncMaster 213T LCD Samsung monitor, 1600x1200,
driven by a DVI-0 digital output of a radeon card using kernel
modesetting.  With something other than gnome-shell this has a very
nice and stable picture.  I am afraid of even think how this may
look on a lesser hardware.

Besides, as I already mentioned, color schemes and other settings
are absolutely unacceptable (but at this moment at least they do not
look like adjustable -  I am afraid that this may be another "design
decision").
