[Bug 1205713] Re: unable to type Greek characters to the dash
@BrandonSchaefer: Could you please have a look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1228422
I think we got major regressions from this change.
In a nutshell, IBus does not support features that we have been used to, when we were using the GTK+ IM. For example, accelerators and menu shortcuts do not work anymore.
Is it possible to get IBus enabled only when the app that has the focus
is Unity?

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!
