Verified in b92 using AWT TextField

The input methods should be enabled in the XToolkit by default.

This is a regression from the fix JDK-7146572 enableInputMethod(false) does not work in the TextArea and TextField on the linux platform The input methods are disabled in XToolkit by default. However they were enabled from the TextField and TextArea peer classes. The JDK-7146572 fix removes the input methods enabling from the peer classes and so the input methods are disabled by default now.

Please open backport CR to fix in 7u12

I have changed affected version to "7u12" since we have "new 7u10" which is started from 7u10 b10. Reproduced 7u10 b08 continues within 7u12 b01

Also broken in jdk8. Something may be wrong in XFilter implementation.
