FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Korean Windows XP, if I change input method changes in
JTextComponents, the windows xp ime status bar doens't
update the locale of input method.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. run the demo program.
c:\j2sdk1.4.1\bin\java -jar c:\j2sdk1.4.1\demo\jfcNotepad\Notepad.jar
2. type in some characters. this is Korean windows xp so,
the default locale is Korean, and windows XP ime staus bar
should be in Korean locale.
3. change to another locale input method using keyboard
shortcuts. this is by default alt-shift. In my case switches
to Japanese locale and again, Chinese Simplified locale.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected Results :
The locale of JTextcomponent input method is changed, so the
windows XP ime status bar should reflect the locale.

Actual Results :
The input method is changed, but the windows XP ime status
bar remains in Korean locale.


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
