While using 1-byte character sets where usual letters are above 127, such as
Russian character sets, mode where national alphabet is switched as Caps_Lock,
not as Shift. In XFree86 it is impossible to use Ctrl-char or Meta(Alt)-char
when in national alphabet mode - xlib just ignores modifier (not in all
applications, but only in those that relay on xlib to get character, gvim or
rxvt are examples). I'm not sure that this bug appears while not using Xkb.
The problem is actually in xlib.
I suggest applying following patch that fixes the problem:

The fix in question was applied by the time of the release of XFree86
4.1.0, at the latest.
This bug has therefore been fixed in Debian for years.
Thanks for your report.
