Research direction
Start by reproducing the blacked-out DrRacket menu items on Ubuntu/Unity with Racket 6.6, comparing the initial window with the state after opening a new tab. Check whether the font controls and tabs menu render correctly from the start; done means the menu items are visible without opening another tab.
