With all due respect, I hope this is not the usual response to X bugs. I
do not think it is unreasonable to ask that shortcuts be made available
from the set of control keys, since this is a very widespread feature
across operating systems. I have used Kubuntu for the past several
years, and made use of the alt-shift key combination to toggle between
the English and Greek keyboard layouts. After the recent KDE change I
find this bug affecting my workflow, interrupting various keyboard
combinations involving the use of those modifiers. I think it is
appropriate to call this a bug in xkb's behaviour.

I wholeheartedly understand that X developers are more thinly stretched
than most, and that this bug—despite its labeled importance—does not
have as extreme a disruptive impact as many other bugs. I have no desire
to complain of the amount of time this bug has spent open and demand
that it be fixed. I would however request that this bug not be closed,
as it is indeed a bug and the responsibility of xkb.
