Are you running X in 24 bpp?

Try (while X is running), this:

alt-F2.  (You ought to get to a login prompt.)

login (with your username and password, same as usual)

at the $ prompt, type

'startx -- :1 -bpp 16' (no quotes) or

'startx -- :1 -bpp 32' (no quotes)

try to run WordPerfect.  Do the images and other parts of the display
still appear odd?

If when running under 16 or 32 bpp they appear ok, you need to switch
to one of those modes.  Use XF86Setup or Xconfigurator as root, from a
prompt, without X running, to change the mode to 16bpp (or 32).

The 'startx -- :1 -bpp 16' or 'startx -- :1 -bpp 32' commands start a
second X server on your same machine.  You are able to switch between
the 2 or 3 or however many X server by doing 

ctrl-alt-F7  ctrl-alt-F8  ctrl-alt-F9 etc.

Start as many X servers as you want by incrementing :1 to :2, etc.
