bug is now resolved*

Sorry, missed a w.

So in 13.10, ibus 1.5 is installed by default, which is now always on.
This means if you change your keyboard layout to greek, then ibus
changes its active keyboard layout as well to greek. Allowing for greek
characters in the dash.

All you have to do is change the keyboard layout to greek in current
13.10 from the system settings. If it does not please let me know!

(also make sure you're all updated, "ibus version" should be 1.5.3)

Title:
  unable to type Greek characters to the dash

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy, when i switch to the Greek layout, i cannot type any greek character to the Dash's search field.
  The pointer does not move at all, which means that it is not just an appearance problem, but there is no input at all of the character.
  The same applies when i try to use the "Execute command" field that appears when pressing the Alt+F2 keyboard shortcut.
  This has only to do wiith greek characters, as other characters that are not related to the keyboard layout (such as numerical characters, dots, comas, hyphens etc) can be typed normally regardless of the keyboard layout setting.

  ** Workaround **
  In the terminal:
    im-config -n xim

  Then reboot!
