Well this already sounds as The Plague of Mandrake...
People, it has been monthes and still no one fixed this. On latin
keyboards it amy not sound so critical. But I have a Cyrillic keyboard.
And I can't type the screensaver's password if I forget to switch keys
before I quit my workplace for some minutes... Right now I lost a good
piece of work because someone just called me out.
I already noted this problem a few times... With the exception of one
old distro, all Mandrake's KDEs had this problem.
