(Get the code!)
I just want to share a workaround which I've found on several russian forums.
1. Let you have cleanly installed 13.10. You might want to add some additional keyboard layouts if you didn't do that during the installation. For me, there are RU and EN layouts.
2. English layout must be the first one in the list. You won't use system layout switcher, so it always be shown in English. You can disable the icon and the layout changing keyboard shortcuts if you know how.
3. Install gxneur. You, probably, can use the default repo, but I didn't try that and prefered to use Andrew's own ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrew-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xneur
4. For enabling the tray icon you can use the following:
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gxneur/
Now go to gxneur settings and feel free to setup everything as you want. I would recommend you to turn on only manual corrections as automatic ones could be really annoying and even frustrating.
I set ctrl+shift to change the layout and don't experience difficulties with ctrl+shift+[key] shortcuts independently of the current layout now.
