By default Xorg manages keyboard layout globally for all windows, i.e. if i change a layout while one window is active, focusing to another window retains the layout. I need to make every window have its layout, as i can do with KDE3's kkbswitch, XFCE-panel XKB plugin, and some other program in GNOME. How can i do this without using DE-dependent programs? Is it possible to make Xorg do this for me without special programs?
