A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When creating a new dialog with a given owner, the input method selection of the owner is not transferred to the dialog.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install im in ext dir as per Sun's instructions.
Run example code on an English machine.
Press hotkey for input method selection and choose any pure-Java IM.
Type thai/indic/whatever into the text area.
Press the Test Me button.
Type into the Dialog's textfield.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Thai/indic/whatever input method selection should remain and text entry should continue in the previously chosen language.
ACTUAL -
The input method selection of the dialog reverts to English (or the native default)


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
