There is a small rectangle ...

This is a known bug of gdyntext.  Please upgrade to the newest gimp
(1.1.23) or start it with
LC_NUMERIC=C gimp

gdyntext uses the locale (de in your case) for numeric data and confuses
the plug-in protocol.

you knocked on the right door. i faced this problem before. its a
problem with your LC_NUMERIC global variable. the only way to work
around this bug si to set this variable to C.
example do this:

LC_NUMERIC=C ; gimp &

it should work. if it does not work, try to unset the LC_ALL
variable.

unset LC_ALL; LC_NUMERIC=C ; gimp &

it should woork.

One stupid suggestion (I've been cought there once): make sure, that you 
entry your text in the TEXT window. The window with alphabet is NOT the 
text window, it's only the sample, text window is below. So, if you entry 
text in sample window, you'll have null text in the TEXT window and only 
very small empty layer.

Would be too easy

No... it seems to be a font problem... 
the border seems to be way too small... 
(font size given was 50 pixels)
result: a border with a height of about 3-5 pixels ?
???
