So I've tried to reproduce this using the 6.9rc0 packages and I've failed.
I used the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale and everything in xmms and various other gtk1
apps I had installed looked just fine. Granted, this was with an English
language font, but that shouldn't matter according to this bug. So either
this is fixed in experimental or I can't reproduce it without more info.
