difference between shift+alt+smth and alt+shift+smth

To type a big polish (latin2) letter one must press:
shift + alt + one_letter
or
alt + shift + one_letter

It always made no difference but today I discovered that only
alt + shift + one_letter
works ok an I can type: ŁŁĄĄÓÓĘĘ
when pressing:
shift + alt + one_letter
It shows nothing or just a big letter.

I'm taliking here about Xorg and KDE, in tty it works OK.
