Details

If you are using utf8 and some old gtk-apps like xmms, some characters like üöä are rendered incorrectly.

One can override this by using iso: cp /etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 ~/.gtkrc.mine

Perhaps we could solve this system-wide.
This task depends upon

No, we cannot override this because not everyone use Latin characters. It is better to use gtkrc.iso-10646-1.
There is xlib-locale-ru-ru-utf8 in [unsupported]. It fixes problems with GTK1, Cyrillic characters and UTF8. Try it, I think it should help for other broken characters too.

People using diffirent language (saying Chinese) need diffirent setting in gtkrc, so the best way is to make a Wiki howto, not a default global setting.

Agree.

You are right. I did not thought about that. But this problem could be solved by setting a font whick supports unicode. This could be made global.

May not be so easy, because gtk1 could not take advantage or at least not make good use of unicode (a whold hackish thing I am aftaid). As far as I know this the one of reasones devs decide to almost rewrite gtk2 from the scratch.

Gtk2 instead has the very good international support.
