Comment 3 for bug 242221

I agree with codesnik, this is an irritant.

I use USA layout for coding and general use, but french layout for chatting and sometimes Firefox. When am chatting and I launch a new terminal, the layout is in french and '/' is replaced by 'é', '~' == '|', etc. Very inconvenient.

It would be better if, like codesnik said, applications would remember the last layout used, or set default layouts for certain applications, or something along those lines.
