Bug Description

After switching to Russian keyboard layout, konsole's Ctrl+Shift+<letter> combinations don't work as expected. E.g., Ctrl+Shift+T doesn't create a new tab, Ctrl+Shift+W doesn't close the current tab and so on.
Instead, such combinations are treated as without Shift key, and corresponding Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W are invoked, and so on.

There is such an error in Krusader also; e.g. Ctrl+D (bookmarks) just doesn't work in non-latin keyboard layout (russian).

I've tried to triage the bug - this one is similar to mine:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32908

I've built Qt 4.8.4 (Saucy version) to a custom location, /opt/qt484, and run Konsole and Krusader with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt484/lib - no effect though (the bug is there).

How to reproduce:
- download daily image of Trusty, 14.04 and run it from usb flash drive
- add universe repo to /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update and apt-get install konsole
- switch to non-latin keyboard layout and hit Ctrl+Shift+T (no new tab is to be created)
- Krusader: apt-get install krusader => Ctrl+D doesn't work, for example

Hmm, this bug is a similar one but concerns KDE apps only, such as Konsole, Krusader ....
