Bug Description
Hi,
In both emacs 23.4 with ibus-el 0.3.0 and emacs 24.3 with ibus-el 0.3.2:
The whole preedit area is totally black while typing a letter which has several possible outcomes (see attachment). Greek vowels may have accents, so if I press:
nea/n
Then what you would expect to see is:
ν -> νε -> νεα -> νεά -> νεάν
which you actually do see in gedit, for exampel.
In emacs, however, I see:
ν -> ν█ -> νε█ -> νε█ -> νεάν
If I press a'/ I see:
█ -> █ -> ἄ
It would be nice if the preedit area was just underlined, had inverted colours or did something more readable while still indicatiing that more options are available.
I am not sure preedit area is what is having an issue here, but so it seems to me...
This happens in both normal and client mode.
Other input methods than m17n:grc:mizuochi have the same issue.
I tested emacs 23 in a clean debian wheezy, while emacs24 is tested in a debian wheezy where I have pulled in emacs, ibus and ibus-el from sid.
Here is info on my current mixed system:

A workaround for emacs 24: Load a dark theme, for example "tango-dark". Then the letters are visible against the black preedit background. Bliss!
You could put in your .emacs file:
(load-theme 'tango-dark)
In my bug report it might sound as if this problem occurs for all input methods, but not so: just fore some, like m17n:grc:mizuochi.
