      Tested with merlin-beta b50 on RedHatLinux 6.2J

      Defining a hot key to an environment variable for using IMESPI,
      Input Method Selection Menu does not show up.

      To reproduce,

      1. Define one of the hot key, for example, VK_F4 to JAVA_INPUT_METHOD_SELECTION_KEY.
      2. Put attached Java IMs (Wubi.jar, TestIM.jar) under the directory $JAVAHOME/jre/lib/ext/
      3. Launch one of the GUI demo such as Java2D or SwingSet2 under $JAVAHOME/demo/jfc/.
      4. Hit F4 key to activate Input Method Selection Key.
      Then, you can find that no menu apperas.

      This is seen in b49 also.
      With Ladybird-beta b15, IM selection menu shows up and works well.


      In case of merlin-beta b50 :

      1)launching SwingSet2, the message as below is displayed;
      [Duke@bombay SwingSet2]$ java -jar SwingSet2.jar
      Can not create trace file
      WuBi InputMethodDesciptor is being loaded.
      2)Hitting F4 key, no messages is displayed and no IM selection menu shows up.

      In case of ladybird-beta b49 :
      1)launching SwingSet2, the result is same as merlin-beta b50.
      [Duke@bombay SwingSet2]$ java -jar SwingSet2.jar
      Can not create trace file
      WuBi InputMethodDesciptor is being loaded.
      2)Then, hitting F4 key, IM selection menu shows up and additional messages are displayed as below;
      Test IM:getAvaliableLocales() is being called.
      WuBi IM:getAvaliableLocales() is being called.
