Bug Description

Trying to use a terminal with a keyboard that starts each new line with an upper-case letter by default, is very tedious, since the shell is case sensitive and so are most applications that will be used within it. It appears this can be hinted by using Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase (or perhaps ImhPreferLowercase is the one).

I understand that this may not be that straightforward, because of how the terminal is implemented using a plugin, but it really does interfere with easy use, so it would be good to fix.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Terminal application
2. Press a letter on the keyboard

Expected result

Letter appears in lowercase form

Actual results

Letter appears in uppercase form

In mako 14.04 r11, when the terminal is first opened, auto-uppercase is off. After Enter is pressed, however, auto-uppercase is on for the first letter.
