UPD: ok, m17n partly works. It doesn't work only in Kate on my computer
(but works on nearby computer with exactly same configuration). Also
there are some side effects in some applications like Thunderbird: if
you type symbols in it then Ctrl+Z will revert all symbols one by one
(this is not correct behavior).

Offtopic: I really don't understand Ubuntu's team politics. What the
reason to rewrite and completely break such a essential functionality as
layout switching in "stable" release (and force users to update to this
release)?

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.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322.
