What about if I have two windows. In one I'm writing an e-mail in
english, and in the other, I'm creating a document using another
language ?

Maybe it could be a per-window property ... i think the keyboard layout
can be like that too.

Except that, I think it is a great idea that will benefit free
desktops, if it is implemented. But I can't help, I don't know how
standards are made. I'm just here to try to give ideas.

Mildred.
