try this .... move .xmms directory in your home directory to something, say OldXmms

#mv .xmms OldXmms

and start xmms again. Check if this resolves your problem

perhaps you can uninstall xmms and reinstall it from the Fedora CDs itself.

Well, you probably need to install some cyrillic fonts in gnome. I have no idea how to do this (I am Serbian, and we use cyrillic as well, but I just go with english on my computer).

Hope that gives you any ideas,
Maksim
