In particular I hate Word's different treatement of "Hebrew" digits vs. "English" digits. I'm not 100% sure about it but I got the impression that it remembers the langauge of anything typed, even digits, and has no way to change it later (except by erasing and re-typing).
I suggest also implementing a mode When wine notifies windows apps of keyboard changes lazily: only when you actually type a letter of a different language wine would tell the application the keyboard layout "has just changed". It's hard to decide what to do about digits. If Word does depend on their language having them hard-coded as e.g. English might do even more damage. So the best policy seems to be "notify of layout switch if new keysym not found in current layout". -- Beni Cherniavsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Israel is moving to 7-digit cellphone numbers since the current 6-digit scheme, although prolonged for some time by supernetting, "comes to the end of its useful life, once again due to address space exhaustion" [RFC 1606 on IPv9 :-].
