Does your system really has the bg_BG.CP1251 locale? Most likely it's bg_BG.UTF-8. Try for instance 'LANG=bg_BG.CP1251 xev' and see if it works.
Yes, you are right. In Ubuntu 8.10 maybe the needed locale is not installed, because under openSuSE 11.1 there is no problem with the Cyrillic encoding.
Thank you!
