If LyX was capable of communicating with the window manager through dbus, it
could send a message "switch the keyboard to Hebrew" when you enter the
cursor in a Hebrew text. 

KWin is capable of launching a window in a specific locale, so you can get
an Hebrew LyX in an English desktop.

It is not cross-platform, but on one platform with a little scripting you
can get much more configurability than you can ever code into LyX. For
example, you could script then when you enter an Hebrew text a virtual
Hebrew keyboard appears on screen.

Cheers,
Charles
