Thanks for your detailed explanation, now I understand better why it is
lucky, that my daugther (physicist and chemist) uses LTS. So I will
leave her LTS alone until the next LTS.
Best wishes,
Peter.

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.
