When while typing in a description of a new item I switch
keyboard into the Cyrillic mode (I am using Xkb, it
generates Cyrillic_* keysyms and I am using ru_RU.KOI8-R
locale) and start typing, ical would not react (as if
nothing is typed).

When xterm, Netscape or gvim is started from the same shell,
cyrillics works fine.

I checked it with the following setup:

glibc-2.0.7-29
ical-2.2-7
XFree86-libs-3.3.3.1-1
XFree86-3.3.3.1-1


P.S. rxvt and nxterm have the same problem (bug reports
#828-829)
