Additional investigation: I have a daily build netinst image lying around from 03.09.2009. With this, the graphical installer starts fine.
The first part of the error message (<unknown>: 1027): Gdk-CRITICAL -- gdk_drawable_set_colormap assertion `cmap == NULL || gdk_drawable_get_depth (drawable) == cmap->visual->depth failed appears with that installer image, too, so that seems to be not a real problem. And some info on my hardware, that I forgot in the previos mail: the machine is an IBM Thinkpad T23 with Pentium 3 processor and S3 Super-Savage graphic.
