Hum seems to be a GTK problem with wx. It is probably handled differently.
I'll launch my debian machine to check this.
So foreground is not well set...
Can you (while in black) do an error like "a"+enter at startup and tells me
if traceback appears in color?

Ouch, it's a locale problem. In fact in some point of the code I try to
detect the local used on the system, and in your case, it has not been
detected, and set to None.
Locale is set line 108:
#we replace IPython default encoding by wx locale encoding
self._IP.stdin_encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]

Anyway, if you want to continue to try the app, just comment this line.

Can you please send me the result of: 
Import locale
print locale.getdefaultlocale()?
