Inputing Arabic and Hebrew (RTL) characters in JTextField, JTextArea and JTextPane fails. Input characters are not displayed in the JTextComponent. Only latin characters and numbers can be input in the JTextComponents. This bug occurs only under Redhat9.

To reproduce bug
1. Log into a Redhat9 machine
2. choose KDE windows manager
3. Verify you have Arabic and Hebrew keyboard mapping, so you can type Arabic and hebrew characters
4. Compile and run the following testcase "jTextComponent.java"
5. In the JtextField, type some English characters
6. Verify that English characters are input and displayed in the JTextField
7. Switch Language to Arabic
8. Type some Arabic characters
9. Note that Arabic characters are not displayed in the JTextField
10. Repeat above steps for the JTextArea and JTextpane
11. Switch Language to Hebrew
12. Type some Hebrew characters
13. Note that Hebrew characters are not displayed in the JTextComponents
