Ran dpkg-reconfigure locales, and selected 'en_GB ISO-8859-1' and 'en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15' along with my existing 'en_IN UTF-8', restarted the system, and the problem is solved. So it appears that the problem is related to what is mentioned in bug #334040 related to UTF-8 locales, rather than a gtk1.2 problem as mentioned in bug #287520.
