I think there is definitely some work that should be done on making
input methods (and keyboard switching) fit nicely into the desktop.

We should be do as well or better than Windows XP where in the
status dock you have a little bar with a menu to switch between
different input languages, the status of the current input method,
a way of configuring the set of input languages.  (from memory)

But that is a decent sized project that goes beyond the scope of
just GTK+, though some support will definitely need to be added
to GTK+ to support that.

There is a bug open about sharing input contexts per toplevel:
