A workaround that really works:
- Install ibus-m17n package
- Go to System Settings/Keyboard/Layout Settings and add the m17n-layout for your language. In my case (Greek), it was "Ελληνικά (kbd (m17))".
Now, shortcuts should work.

Finally, I 'm afraid that this bug, which has been around for a long time, is underestimated. For non-latin language users who want to use the computer for production purposes, this is not just an annoyance, it's a show-stopper. If I was a Windows user trying Ubuntu for the first time, Ubuntu (and possibly Linux) would never get a second chance.
