Example in attachment illustrates that InputMethods are not enabled by default by TextComponent. This example works on Windows XP but not on Solaris/Linux (tested with Suse 9.1). Note that adding of explicit statement 'enableInputMethods(true)' makes this example work OK on all platforms. Below are outputs of the example on different platforms:
--------------- WinXP ---------------------
java Test002
component.requestFocusInWindow() true
OKAY
--------------- Solaris/Windows -----------------------
java Test002
component.requestFocusInWindow() true
Error: No events dispatched!
