Hi Mikhail,
AFAIK the keyboard module of KDE Control Centre is just a GUI wrapper of
Xorg-level xkb tools... so please disable all Control Centre keyboard
settings and then try this:
% setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru(phonetic),ua(phonetic)' \
-option '' \
-option 'grp:rwin_toggle' \
-option 'grp_led:scroll' \
-rules 'xorg' \
-model 'pc105'
The first -option argument is empty in order to disable any existing
option(s). This works as expected ('-' works normally). I tried these
settings out of KDE, but I guess it will work just fine in KDE too.
As a Cyrillic and (past) KDE user, I sometimes experienced similar
keyboard problems and always resolved them using such command-line
configuration.
Best regards.
