OK I found the reason. Ipe will fail to work properly (including the colour pallet) if the language environment is not set to "C".
A workaround is not calling Ipe directly but via a script like this:
#!/bin/bash export LANG="C" /usr/bin/ipe
Still it would be nice to see Ipe running in all language environments!
