I created /etc/gtk/gtkrc.ro_RO.utf8 (and gtkrc.ro_RO.utf-8, I'm not sure
which is right), as explained by Pablo:

style "gtk-default" {
  fontset = "-*-arial-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default"

I also selected in control-center theme selector to use iso10646-1 fixed font.
Also modified /etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias to have ro_RO.UTF-8 instead of old ISO8859-2

After this I couldn't get any character displayed properly, got some rectangles
instead of every letter.

the iso10646 fonts I've got with red hat 7.1 are incomplete, I got
some warnings:
[marius@localhost marius]$ export LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8
[marius@localhost marius]$ gnome-terminal 

Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation

Gdk-WARNING **:     KSC5601.1987-0

....

but nothing works, the menu isn't displayed in gnome-terminal (sometimes
blank, sometimes with rectangles)

Did anybody succeeded to have
cat /usr/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Sawfish/maximize-properties.desktop 
display properly all strings?
