I have been using mathematica 4 (in kde) and 5, 5.2, 6, 6.01 (in fluxbox and ubuntu gnome) with no problems at all.
Try this:
- open a terminal
- run the "math" command (i.e., type "math" on the command line and press "enter"). This command runs mathematica in the terminal, and does not lauch the graphical user interface.
-you should get a message like this
Mathematica 5.2 for Linux

In[1]:=
-In[1]:= means the you can enter an input. Try any operation, let's say 2+2. Namely type in the terminal "2+2" and press "Enter". You should get something like this
In[1]:= 2+2
Out[1]= 5
In[2]:=
No, I am joking. I expect something like this:
In[1]:= 2+2
Out[1]= 4
In[2]:=
If this works fine, the installation was ok and you only need to install the right fonts. I do not know which fonts mathematica 5.2 uses, but you may try to run "sudo fc-cache -f -v" to update the fonts, if mathematica installed some new ones itself.
in any case, you can use the non graphic version until you solve the problem.
I just found a workaround for this problem. To be able to see what i write on the Mathematica notebook, i need to set to normal the visual effects in System->Preferences->Appearence.

can I ask if your name choice was just something random?
