Description: XMMS displays french special characters like é, à and è incorrectly. My system is in french and uses the fr_FR.UTF-8 locale. I know it can work *in theory*, as I have another machine running CentOS 5.1 with LANG set to fr_FR.UTF-8, and here, XMMS menus display correctly.
This task depends upon

Still a problem?
This is not a xmms bug but a gtk1 configuration issue.
Maybe /etc/gtk should be populated with some utf-8 configuration file.

Try, e.g., this ~/.gtkrc:
style "gtk-default" {
fontset = "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,*-r-*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default"

Tip: xmms is quite unsupported upstream; audacious is a better choice.

Unless there exists some patch for xmms - I suggest closing this report.

Note that /etc/gtk doesn't contain rc files for FR, IT and other countries.
One can:
· as root
# ln -s /etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 /etc/gtk/gtkrc.fr
· as unprivileged user
$ ln -s /etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 $HOME/.gtkrc

This fix the issue.

 FS#15085 .

I think that xmms doesn't any patch. IMO you can close this task.
