That's XFree86's fault, not KDE. When you're in RU, the K key no longer 
generates K, but Л. So you aren't hitting Ctrl+Alt+K, but Ctrl+Alt+Л. 
See the difference?

A solution is to use a second layer of latin keys, like this:
setxkbmap ru,us

This should restore the XFree86's 4.2 (and maybe 4.3) behaviour.

Again, the new keyboard maps are to blame, not KDE nor kxkb.

So, this leads me to the original message:

This probably means that the poster has the second layer set up, so his 
keyboard is generating Alt+F instead of Alt+Ф.

I don't know how to solve this.
