Pasting from xterm in utf-8 mode works fine. I think that pasting
from koi8-r generates double-width Cyrillic letters from JISX0208
instead of regular Cyrillic letters from ISO 8859-5.
I tried rgrep koi8-r on sources and couldn't find where the clipboard
support is located. Where is it?

The bug is in lisp/international/mule-cmds.el: Latin-5 is stated to be
coding system for some of the Cyrillic locales. However Latin-5 is
actually ISO 8859-9 (quiet similar to Latin-1) and has nothing to do
with ISO 8859-5 (Cyrillic-ISO).
I observed a change between Emacs I used before and Emacs as I got it
from CVS. If I set the keyboard coding system apropriately, the
previous version of Emacs worked fine both on the text-mode console
and in X Window. The last version of Emacs works in text-mode as well
but in X Window it only beeps on non-ASCII symbols. It would be nice
if Emacs understood directly xkeysyms but the previous behaviour is
also fine. The version of Emacs I used before is 21.1.1 from Debian
and uses Athena widget. I compiled the new version of Emacs with
Lesstif.
