Alexandr, a bit more clarification about shortcut support

1) If the menu says "_Moscow" in cyrillic, you are in cyrillic input mode, and
you press Alt-M, the menu opens up. Does the same happen when you are in
non-russian keyboard input mode (such as English)? On GNOME, special care has
been taken so that it does not matter what language you are in; as long as the
key is the correct one according to the cyrillic positioning of the keys, it
should work. That is, you are in English keyboard input mode, you should be able
to press Alt-M (let's imagine "M" is cyrillic, ok?) and get the action.
Currently OpenOffice 1.1.3 for Hoary appears NOT to work when the keyboard shows
English, to access the menus. It works when you are typing the local languages.
If you follow the bug reports, it says that the problem has been fixed in CVS
(9th Math, '05?) but remains to be verified.

2) Do Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V work while the keyboard is in Cyrillic Input mode?
For me (Greek) it does not work, as the character simply gets pressed. GNOME
2.10 fixes this nicely.

3) Mozilla Firefox appears to be quite problematic; Keyboard shortcuts for the
Firefox do not work up all.
