I am getting the same errors after installing xmms onto FC3T2 candidate. 
The solution to overriding the problem is to get an .xmms file from a 
previous installation and apply it to your home directory.
The last time this error happened, it was related to arts. I'm not sure 
if this is a resurfacing of the older bug.

I don't have KDE installed on this test session. Is KDE installed on 
your computer?

Anyway, this looks like it might be font related.

xmms

** WARNING **: Failed to open font: "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*".

is the error that I get on the terminal w/ this particular candidate.

xmms-1.2.10-6
arts-1.3.0-1

Go ahead and submit a bug report. I see it here also.
