Thanks a ton for this. Typing 'LANG=C' and then opening xmms from the
SAME CONSOLE/TERMINAL works perfectly (opening xmms directly from menu
or in another terminal does not). 'export LC_LANG=C' does not work.
Anyway, I have filed bug reports under both the numbers you have
specified above.
Those bug reports indicate it is either a problem with locale having
UTF-8, or with gtk1.2.
How would one solve the problem permanently, some entry in one of the
config or start up files? (Tried adding LANG=C to my ~/.xmms/config file
but no luck.) Or would changing the locale without UTF-8 help, but how
would that affect other programmes?
