I'm using devel-xorg-modular.
I suppose it is possible that xorg in test is buggy -- it is pretty
old now. I'm not entirely inclined to blame Xorg when gtk apps work
though.

The only other thing I can think of is making sure you are starting
xterm in utf-8 mode (xterm -u8 , or set it Xdefaults or Xresources),
but urxvt doesn't work with either, so I don't know.

I'll try to give this a try on a test box when I get the chance.
