Currently the keyboard layout switcher (when in per-Window or \
per-Application mode)  ignores the desktop when it becomes the active \
window. This was done intentionally so that when keyboard layout applet (on \
the desktop) is clicked it would change the current (or technically \
previous) active window's layout instead of the desktop's one. Though it \
seems that as people use more applets which take the keyboard input this \
becomes the problem (e.g.https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269661). I \
guess I could treat the desktop window as a separate layout container and \
come up with some workaround to allow layout switcher applet to skip the \
active window switch if it's been clicked on desktop. But if people use \
more applets it might make sense to be able to keep layouts per applets as \
well as per top-level windows. So the question is whether there's a way to \
tell "active/focused" applet and get notified on switch?

Thanks
Andriy
