Justin,
I had similar font problems after a recent etch dist-upgrade. I
noticed the gtk font problem with xmms. As a work-around, you can
create .gtkrc in your home directory, and put in something like this:
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal-*-*-90-*-*-p-*-microsoft-cp1251"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
This doesn't address the original cause of the problem/change, I'm
afraid.
