Actually that won't help. I plan to use the Draw16 methods
instead of the plain Draw methods of Xlib, it is on TODO for
wmii-3 already. wmii will only support UTF8, but no
locale-specific encodings. I assume that koi8 is not
UTF8-compliant, thus I recommend to switch to UTF8 once wmii-3
is released to get correct renderings of strings which contain
non-7bit characters.
