I think I found the problem. If I pull up the same page on my Mac which I always find has a truer rendering of images the fields look fine. The combination of Ubuntu, nVidia Xserver, nVidia graphics card and LG monitor resulted in a screen that was pushed too far to white. The PNG I posted won't look like what I am seeing in that case because it is the video system that is causing the problem. To give a verbal example, the only feature of the submit button that was not 100% white was the text on the button which made buttons, check boxes and text fields disappear into the background. I think the display manufacturers setup their displays hot so they look nicer in the store. Most images looked fine on the display so I thought it was set okay.
