Michael, thanks for you quick support. While trying to establish precise 
answer to your questions and gather additional details, I discovered 
that unchecking box "use colors from system theme" made all visible.

Before upgrade I was using white text on black background. After the 
upgrade all was black. I forgot to add, that changing the color settings 
doesn't affect my gnome-terminal background (I checked that before). 
Actually it is a small bug, that one can adjust colors while "use colors 
from system theme" is active.

So for me the thing is solved. Anyway I provide the answers below.

Thanks again
Jarek

Yes

No output.

> Under which desktop environment do you run gnome-terminal?

Openbox, from jessie.

> Do you get any errors in ~/.xsession-errors?

No such file, maybe because I start X with "xinit my_script" command. 
Not starting gnome at all.
