Bug Description

I have installed Kubuntu 12.10 on my PC and use Genius Comfy KB-21e Scroll (PS/2) keyboard.
If I use Alt+Shift for language switching and switch several times (1, 2 or even 8), then I receive Shift key sticky problem. Everything comes back to norm at several additional switchings of keyboard layout.
Bug doesn't depend on the started applications.

In Russian:
Имеется клавиатура Genius Comfy KB-21e Scroll (PS/2). При переключении языка залипает клавиша Shift (если используется Alt+Shift), либо Ctrl (если используется Ctrl+Shift). И не отлипает, пока не переключишься ещё несколько раз.
Чтобы клавиши залипли, иногда достаточно одного-двух переключений с одного языка ввода на другой, иногда – больше (до 8-и бывает).
Такой баг есть и в 32-х и 64-х битной Kubuntu 12.10.
Баг проявляется независимо от запущенных приложений. Первоначально бросился в глаза в LibreOffice Writer и Calc (при редактировании текста в ячейке) и Kate.

Alt+Shift:
Жмём Alt+Shift и после мышкой кликаем на тексте. Если текст выделается мышкой без нажатия клавиши Shift, то клавиша Shift залипла.

Ctrl+Shift:
Так же переключаемся по Ctrl+Shift, если вместо набора текста, начинают срабатывать комбинации клавиш Ctrl+буква, то клавиша Ctrl залипла.

32-х битное ядро:
uname -a
Linux Home-PC 3.5.0-23-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 13:05:29 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux

affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) → console-setup (Ubuntu)

In Ubuntu 12.10 x86 I have no this problem. Can you fix it for Kubuntu?
