@dgjones and others with missing menu text:

I thought I might take a look and see if I also experienced the OpenOffice menu problem and, sadly, I did. However, I googled around a bit and found this thread:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486810#34

Which described adding a option to xorg.conf which completely fixed the problem for me. You might try it and see if it also fixes the problem for you without having to disable the visual effects.
Basically, I added this:

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enabled"
EndSection
