the BKSL key (moved next to BKSP) doesnt work correctly,
the RAlt+AC10 doesnt work correctly (ç is on the output instead),
The RAlt+Z and RAlt+X combos dont work correctly.
Plus there is this extra AB11 key i couldnt check because its

The RAlt+LFSH+AC12 combo doesnt work correctly
The RAlt+AB08 and 09 combos dont work correctly
(All the RAlt+LFSH+AE01 - 12 combos dont work correctly but they have
the same character on RAlt only (no LFSH) combo
so this doesnt really matter)
(The RAlt+L combo gives Ł instead of ł, but ł is on the RAlt+K combo,
so this doesnt really matter I guess
   
Czech   snv_105_X86
The RAlt+AB09 and 10 combos dont work correctly

Icelandic   snv_105_X86
The AB08,09,10, AC10,11, AD11,12 and BKSL keys and their combos (LFSH and RAlt) work
as if the English/US keyboard layout was set.
The RAlt+AB07 and RAlt+AB01 combos dont work

The RAlt+key and RAlt+LFSH+key combos in the AE01-12 line are switched
(this also applies to RAlt+AC10 and RAlt+LFSH+AC10 combos and to the same TILDE combos).
The RAlt(+LFSH)+BKSL combo doesnt work correctly
The RAlt+LFSH+AE02 and AE03 combos dont work

Romanian   snv_105_X86
The following keys dont work correctly in a RAlt combo:
AE02,AE03,AE04,AE05,AE06,AE07,AE08,AE09,AE10,AE11
(Some of them print the correct character, but since these are marked RED on the layout,
they should tie (as I understood) to a letter that is printed afterwards
and not be printed just by themselves).
Other RAlt-combos not working:
AD01,AD04,AD05,AC02,AC03,AC04,AC05,AC08,AC09,AB03,AB04.
   
Russian   snv_105_X86
The TILDE key doesnt work correctly (¬ instead of `).
The rest of the keys and combos appear to work ok,
only the RAlt+key combos are on the right instead of left on the wikis layout.
   
SerbiaAndMontenegro   snv_105_X86
Seems that AEXX keys and their RAlt+AEXX combos are switched
(no logical reason to have for example 3 under
the RAlt+AE03 combo and ^ directly under the AE03 key).
Furthermore:
The AD03 key not working correctly (regular "e" on the output)
   
Slovak   snv_105_X86
The RAlt+AB08,09,10 and RAlt+AB03 combos are not working properly.

The RAlt+AB08,09 combos not working properly.
   
Spanish   snv_105 X86
The RAlt+AE04,05 and 11 combos not working properly
   
Swedish   snv_105 X86    
Swiss/French   dnv_105 X86
The RAlt+AE10 combo not working properly
(wrong apostrphe - the other one, rotated the other way)
   
Swiss/German   dnv_105 X86
The same bugs as for Swiss/French
   
Turkish/F   snv_105 X86
The following RAlt+key combos are not working properly :
TILDE, AE12,
The CapsLocked AD04 differs from LFSH+AD04
(Capslocked gives İ, LFSH+AD04 gives I )
The RAlt+AD11 gives the above-letter-umlaut immediately even without pressing
a letter-key afterwards, is this behavior correct?
Isnt RAlt+AD12 supposed to output a tilde instead of the wave-above-letter?
The CapsLocked AC02 differs from LFSH+AC02
(Capslocked gives I, LFSH+AC02 gives İ )
The BKSL key isnt working properly, theres an x on the output instead of the other-way-apostrophe)
The RAlt+AB01 and RAlt+AB02 combos are not working correctly
(double arrow «,» on the output instead of the simple <,> arrow)
The RAlt+AB09 combo not working properly (÷ instead od + on the output)
   
Turkish/Q   snv_105 X86
The CapsLocked AD08 differs from LFSH+AD08
(Capslocked gives İ, LFSH+AD08 gives I )
The CapsLocked AC11 differs from LFSH+AC11
Capslocked gives I, LFSH+AC11 gives İ )
   
Ukrainian   snv_105 X86
The RAlt+LFSH+BKSL combo not working properly (\ instead of | )
The CapsLocked BKSL key not working properly
(the ґ character should be upper-case (Ґ) instead of lower-case (ґ))
   
English/UK   snv_105 X86
The RAlt+TILDE combo not working correctly ( | instead of ¦ )
   
English/US   snv_105 X86    



In case the environment (GTK+, GNOME, Terminal, Firefox) isnt specified at a bug, the bug is related to all of the environments

IMHO THE IIIM-PANEL AND KEYBOARD SWITCHING DONT WORK THE WAY THEY SHOULD - SWITCHED TO EN KEYBOARD AND RUSSIAN CHARS ARE STILL BEING INSERTED. THEN SWITCHED BACK TO RUSSIAN AND LATIN CHARS (CAPS) ARE INPUT. AFTER SWITCHING OVER TO ENGLISH, RUSSIAN CHARS ARE BEING INPUT. (OCCURED ONLY WITH RUSSIAN LOCALE AND KEYBOARD)
