On my 1600x1200 screen I am getting a totally unreadable mess with a bunch of crazy hieroglyphics (icons) with absolutely undecipherable titles. Where some letters can be distinguished they are obviously doubles. What is more there is no obvious way to try to fix this mess (yes, I guessed where some purported configurations may be).
The text in your screenshot doesn't look to me like a configuration problem. It looks like a bug, perhaps specific to your hardware, perhaps not. FWIW, on my screen, it's actually readable (running F15 as of this morning).
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").
