My tooltips are completely black boxes. I can't tell if they are displaying incorrectly, or if it is just that I can see the text very faintly, so it must be that the text and background are both near-black.

I'm using gnome-shell in Ubuntu 11.10,in which settings manager doesn't have the option to change the colors in the tooltips, just background and theme settings.

Any idea what should I do?

To circumvent this sort of problem it may be useful to choose a different theme under Settings->Appearance.
