Reference RHEL6 ibus bug: Bug 741867 - [ALL LANG] Cannot input localized character in date field. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741867#c20

Comment 3 Bryan Kearney 2012-08-17 15:44:54 UTC
So, given https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741867, there is a workaround.. yes? What should I do here.. request a release note?

Workaround for SCIM:
1. Login system with no-root user.
2. Run the below commends from terminal as root:
$ su -
# export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
# subscription-manager-gui

Verified that SCIM IME can be activated and can input locale string in date field now for no-root user via this workaround.

As I think the application here is important for CJK, suggest that it would be good to note rel-note same with ibus.

Comment 5 Bryan Kearney 2012-08-21 12:56:35 UTC
MOving to on_qa to verify with the work around. Requsted a release note for this as well.
