Check the setting for the global opacity and make sure that it is > 0.
(You can either use the spinbox with the label 'O:' in the status line,
or the opacity slider in the 'Fill and Stroke' dialog).

If this doesn't help and new objects still are not visible (only the
bounding box frame - the "doted rectangle" - while still selected),
check the settings of the current layer in the 'Layers...' dialog and
make sure the layer opacity is > 0.
