Bug#318804: #318804: gnome-applets: gnome-keyboard-applet should have "Separate grou

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.12.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #318804

i completely concur with the previous bug reporter's assessment.  the 
per-window keyboard layout behavior is totally counter-intuitive.  i 
also use the dvorak layout, and every now and then need to switch to 
qwerty for other users.  they expect everything to be qwerty, and i 
expect everything to be dvorak.  this is one case where following the 
microsoft precident is very bad.  i propose that the keyboard indicator 
applet apply to the entire desktop, and i believe that all users that 
deal with multiple keyboard layouts would agree.
