Try to disable "Visual Effects" (system->preferences->appearance).

This bug seems to be linked to older Intel graphics. I get it with a 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV
Visual effects are turned off.
On my machine many characters are missing, notably "a", "l" and digits

Does not work with Ubuntu 9.10. It starts up and then closes out on me.
