On An Unbuntu 14.10 linux system I'm seeing a black rectangle instead of a box showing text when 'userQuery' is used. This can be seen when saving the image from the middle click menu in the GUI. The text that usually displays that the image is being saved does not appear, instead a black rectangle where it would be displayed is shown instead.
It can also be shown with:
userQuery showEverybody: 'hello' While: [ times delay: 1000 ]
This is with the latest master from the Self git repository. Does anyone else see this issue?

If I remove the following line from userQueryMorph>copyQuestionForNotice then the block is no longer black and it displays correctly:
"new colorAll: paint copyRed: 0 Green: 0 Blue: 0 Alpha: 0.7."
I doubt that's the correct fix but is a useful workaround.
I've done the following pull request for the workaround:

This is just to provide an option for Linux users for now. I expect there's a better fix for the underlying issue.
It’s the lack of alpha transparency on Linux biting us again. Your temporary solution is the obvious one, so I’ve committed it. I’m working through some ui fixes so we can come back and do something nicer later. Russell
