Yes, that's a good idea. You can:

- Create a fresh-new user account, login with it and see if the problem 
is still there.

- Also, as you are running a virtual machine, you can also do a different 
clean install (just for testing).

Moreover, try with a different dark theme other than the one you are 
using right now (you can get nice themes from http://www.gnome-look.org).
