For anyone who wants a quick work around: im-config -n xim
The overall problem being is the default IM in unity/nux is set to ibus. Nux talks with ibus a bit differently, so if ibus is the active IM then we don't set up xim handling, which means theres no valid x input context. If theres no valid x input context then we can't use XmbLookupString, which handles unicode. So overall if doing this: "echo $XMODIFIERS" prints out: "@im=ibus" Then nux things you are running IBus (even if you aren't) and greek will not work! "imconfig -n xim" will change @im=ibus to @im=xim, then nux will create the correct x input context and greek/unicode stuff will work :).
