The same problem has been described by Andreas Vögele and Nicolas 
Girard. This seems to be caused by the backend not setting the text 
colour correctly before drawing. This may be caused by a change in the 
colour handling done some months ago, but the strange thing is that this 
does not show up for most of the GNUstep users and none of the GNUstep 
developers. This makes it very hard to drag down.
My first idea was that perhaps the stored text colour in the system 
colour list is wrong, but now that it shows up for different users this 
is no longer very likely.

It would be great, if anybody with this problem could look into it further.

Cheers
