As ucs deeply affects the LaTeX kernel, more and more modern packages are incompatible with utf8x and ucs (csquotes, hyperref,...). For proper Unicode support its preferable to use LuaTeX or XeTeX rather than using ucs (which is one of the first attemtps at better Unicode support for TeX). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
