Try in a console:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Check only the languages you need. Click OK

Is it possible to make konsole display proper characters instead of squares (changing the font does not seem to help), or should I switch to xterm? KDE taskbar also doesn't display UTF-8 characters at all, can it be fixed?
XMMS started to display proper characters in songs list and main window after specifying the good font group, but without selecting the font grouping option (first on on a Fonts page) since it brakes everything.

As for konsole finally I managed to display proper characters instead of squares. It takes picking Font - Unicode and Font - Custom... in a random order and dancing under the moon until the desired result is reached. Most fonts display japanese characters correctly, but truncate end of cyrillic characters; one displaying both kinds right is "Console".
So now what can I do with "File Open" dialog?
Ghm, even SuSE does not support this, so solution is to use different frontend like amarok.
