Testing in Firefox with Afghani, ctrl+t for new tab works. Though
ctrl+alt+t does now...which would is possibly under gnome-compatibilty
in compiz.... but one would think things should still work? As im not
sure what the new layout changer did that would cause it to stop
working. Unless it hadn't worked before...as we should still be getting
the same events as before through compiz/unity. A new keyboard layout
changer shouldn't change the type of events we get hmmm. I need to test
if Ctrl+Alt+t worked before the new layouts...

Title:
  Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout

Bug description:
  New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce  old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. 
  Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. 

  Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system
  parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard
  layout.

  Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non-
  latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead
  of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with
  english layout.  If you use english and two different non-latin
  layouts this workaround helps only with one of them.
