Unpleasant localisation related bug in gtk-based applications.

[Ariel Burbaickij mni fh-giessen de]

Hello,

I have one user with Russian in KOI8-R fashion locale on FreeBSD.
I use gtk 1.2.10. All gtk-based applications shows folowing:
All gui entries are localized correctly, save the textfield
entries in which entries is made by the programm itself
(e.g. in xchat it is topic field, in sylpheed many default settings
presented to the user). In these cases what is shown is not the Cyrillic
letters but Latin letters and signs that somehow correspond to Cyrillic
letters. The entries in /etc/gtk/gtkrc look like:

style "gtk-default-ru" {
       fontset = "-cronyx-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r,\
                  -cronyx-courier-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r,\
                  -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r,\
                  -cronyx-times-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-r"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-ru"

How one should cope with the problem?

Yours sincerely
