That is, what you say, that the four layers, i.e. the plain, the Alt, the 
Ctrl and the Ctrl-Alt layers shuld be INDEPENDENT-ly configurable, and so 
we could keep the Ctrl-Alt layer in US-English layout.  This is the 
implicite suggestion what I was mentioning at the end of my previous 
comment.

If a layer is kept in the US-English layout, then we call it as that 
particular layer is in *physical* keyboard layout.

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.

  For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see
