Summary: unable to activate windows input method for wine
                    programs
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

1.  Install Services Framework Redist files

Download instMSTSF.exe (Services Framework Redist files) from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=1175...
extract instMSTSF.exe, install mstsf10.exe with Windows Version = Win2k
override native msctf.dll, avoid Bug 28125

2. install a input method, for example, MSPY2010.exe (Chinese input method from
Microsoft) :

Download MSPY2010.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/china/pinyin/ and install.
winetricks vcrun2008, avoid Bug 28205 
override newer version of native msutb.dll, avoid Bug 28178

3. start notepad in a terminal, start ctfmon.exe in another terminal
$ wine notepad
$ wine ctfmon.exe

4.try to change the input method in the Language Bar, however, the windows
input method will not be activated as expect. Try to type something in notepad,
but result is still the same as raw keyboard input without any input method.

log for notepad and ctfmon are both attached.

Is this still an issue in Wine 1.7.45 or later?
