Ha! this is really great fault of these programs (rxvt fvwm and
stuff), since KOI8-R locale consists of two character sets: koi8-r
and... iso8859-1. So 1) there is not correct way keep KOI8-R strings
in as ordinar char* 2) ther is no way to draw these strings with
XDrawString.

BTW I am running debian unstable. Current libc and xlib are:
ii  libc6          2.2.4-7        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  xlibs          4.1.0-13       X Window System client libraries
