Screenshots of failing menus

Description of problem: Texts and icons in menus do not show up after a fresh install of Fedora 17 i686. The whole system works fine, including UI. But I cannot see menus, they remain totally black, be it the log-in menu, the top-left corner menu (activities), the top-right corner menu or any other menu for that matter. 

I attached screenshots so that you can get the idea. I have set selinux in permissive mode, as I have read on some forums this could be the culprit, but it did not change anything.   

Here is the graphic card I am using, although I am not very confident this may have anything to do since apart from menus, the rest of the UI displays correctly.

lspci -v | grep VGA

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])



How reproducible: Make a fresh install of Fedora 17 (i686)


Additional info: I know this is very little information but I have no idea where to begin. Do tell me what is relevant and I'll provide it.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 04:50:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 14:58:16 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
