OK I understand now. Somehow your text colour got changed to "White". Use
either the toolbar colour picker or the font dialog to change the text
color to something sane. Sounds like the defaults in gtk are getting
totally screwed up. The "Insert Symbol" dialog just uses the default text
colour and on a white background without reference to the what the user
has set in the document.
