Description

Currently kb settings are managed by xkb plugin and xfwm4 in some way. Personally I find xkb plugin ugly and unituitive for managing kb layouts. I suggest to move feature feature "individual kb layout for each window" to xfwm. Currently this behaviour exists in xfwm4, but a little unfriendly:

  1. you work with one window
  2. you open new window, new window has layout of previous window, but not the default. But if you add xkb plugin to panel, the behaviour becames windows-like (each new window has default kb layout).

Most users (windows, unity, maybe others) are used to see default layout in new windows. For example when I open terminal I would like it to use default english layout, but not previous.
