Are those programs gtk1.2 programs or gtk2 programs?
Use ldd ('ldd /path/to/binary |grep gtk') to find out.

The value of LANG is not exactly relevant, as most of the LC_ values are
overriden explicitly. Wierd settings. Delete or rem-out unnecessary lines
from /etc/sysconfig/i18n

Try playing with this one. Try he_IL and he_IL.UTF-8 . I figure those
legacy gtk1.2 programs will want he_IL .

Regarding the messages: also check the value of LANGUAGE
echo $LANGUAGE
If it is defined it overrides LC_MESSAGES (and allows a number of
languages to be defined)
