Greek Keyboard on Solaris 11, can not type vowels with accent

Hello,
Since the upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11, I can not type vowels with an accent when a Greek keyboard is used. To reproduce this:

1. Follow the System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts to add a Greek keyboard layout using any of the available variants and any of the available keyboard models. I chose the "Greece Eliminate dead keys" variant with an IBM ThinkPad Rxxx keyboard model, but the same applies  to "Greece Polytonic" variant and "Generic PC/104" keyboard model
2. Switch to Greek keyboard layout using the chosen  keys combination to change layout
3. In gnome terminal or in firefox, type any of the Greek vowel such as  the Greek_alpha (α) and then try the same with an accent (ά) by preceding the ";" before the vowel as it should be.

Howdy, Stranger!
