This is just changed semantics. Starting with gtk+-2.10 you need to use ctrl+shift+U to start unicode hex entering mode, and then just enter it (by either continuing to hold down ctrl+shift and entering the hex and releasing it, or releasing modifiers right away, entering the hex and hitting enter, or some other ways). Before with Ctrl+Shift+<0 through 9, A through F> 16 valueable modifier keys were reserved for the text in text input controls, and so application shortcut keys like Ctrl+Shift+E became unusable when the focus was inside a text control. Now it's just Ctrl+Shift+U that has problems in being an application accessor key (shortcut key).
