I am using 13.10 (latest updates) and I have configured the layouts US English, Greek, Russian.

I started "gedit" (core GTK+ app) and I switch keyboard layout to Greek.

1. I typed some text in Greek. Then, pressed Ctrl+A (Select All) but nothing happened. Instead, the whole text should have been selected.
In the Greek keyboard layout, the Greek A is on the same physical key as the Latin A.

2. I pressed Alt+F (Open the File menu). Nothing happened.

GTK+ should have handled correctly both of these cases as it has code to handle the multiple-layout issue.
I tried to unset 'GTK_MODULES' (has a value of 'unity-gtk-module'), but I did not get back the old behavior.
I could not find a workaround for these critical issues.
