Interesting, I'm using pgtk on wayland/sway and C-h k C-S-u doesn't
report anything but inserts an underlined letter "u" in the current
buffer, even when that is read-only, and still seems to wait for my key.
Then, emacs is inresponsive, C-g won't work, and I need to switch to
another window and back again.  At that point, the underlined u
disappears and I can interact with emacs again.

When I run (pgtk-use-im-context nil), the above problem doesn't happen
and C-h k C-S-u reports C-u translated from C-S-u.  However, I also
cannot insert characters like ` or ´ anymore.  Pressing the relevant
AltGr-key combo on my German Dvorak layout doesn't seem to be received
by emacs.  C-h k <AltGr-combo> doesn't receive anything.

So it seems like I can choose pest or cholera...
