After some more random googling and flailing, I have learned that setting
the resource "*international: True" in Xaw widgets makes them do something
more nearly correct.  Try this:

env LANG=de_DE.utf8 xboard -xrm '*international: True'

When I do that, I get correct umlauts and the ß character in Weiß (=White).
But I don't get the right font -- it looks like all the characters are
coming from the "fixed" font; they are all small and fixed-width.
