Greek T is NOT identical to Latin T, they are DISTINCT letters, which only
correspond to each other.
This is not only a valid excuse, but otherwise we were not able to write a
pure greek text containing properly shaped greek T letters.
In other words, the unicode code point of greek T and latin T are luckily
different.
Even "τερματικό" is not identical to "termatiko", there is only a natural
correspondance there.
Hence the correct solution is if Ctrl-Alt-τ works instead of Ctrl-Alt-t.
While it is just a minor amount of difference in terms of the visual shape
of the letters, but an essential difference in terms of unicode code
points of them.
I have no greek keyboard experince, but I am reluctant to think that your
greek layout produces latin-t instead of greek-τ. Hence Ctrl-Alt-τ should
work instead of Ctrl-Alt-t.
I think that all of you have implicitely the following suggestion:
the keyboardlayout should be Alt, Ctrl and Ctrl-Alt dependent
and even if the plain state produces russian or greek letters, the Alt,
Ctrl and Ctrl-Alt layers should be able to remain in US-English layout.
However this would need the redesign of the keyboarlyout config tools, in
order to make the users able to specify the 4 different layers: the plain,
the Alt, the Ctrl and the Ctrl-Alt layers INDEPENDENTLY from each other.

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.
