Yes, unfortunately. There was a bug filed against gtk+ for this at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313646 and it was found to be a problem in the proprietary nvidia driver. If you check out the attachments to that bug, that's what I was experiencing a few months ago. The problem was *only* in GTK applications and the missing text would come back after I hovered the mouse over the area. Unlike the description of that bug, I was NOT using the non-free nvidia driver... On two different computers I had these same symptoms. One used the xorg nv driver, the other used the xorg radeon driver. On both PCs, I resolved the problem by playing with the anti-aliasing settings.
