I think this is due to your X russification. There exist two methods of X
russification: locale based (symbols determs by special names which describes
in keysymdef.h) method based on hex codes of symbols. The second method always
works, the first works only with programs that knows the locale. StarOffice
don't know russian locale :(. I use the second method: my keyboard map based
on hex codes of russian symbols and my XLOCALE is ISO-8859-1. Thus I down't
have this problem.
