This kind of treats more the gsw4app plugin, but I hope
it's okay to put it here.

A finer-grained gsw4app window discrimination would
come in handy (you might want to take a look at
sawfish, to see how fine grained it can get).

For instance, I use GAIM on regular basis and type away
to many people. But not all of them have the same
software, as to some I can type away in cyrillic,
others can stand only latin transcription, and third
ones again can read only pure ASCII.

I would like therefore to be able to instruct gswitchit
to monitor the window title (and perhaps some other
things apart from just window class as it is now) and
set the keyboard accordingly. I could argue that it
should be even discriminated on a per-widget level!
(Yes I do have a feeling that I am nitpicking, but
please understand that I do actively use keyboard
switching: every day, entire day, and kind of think
that I've developed a feeling of what I really miss in
all switchers)

Ideally, after some training period, I would not need
to press the keyboard switch at all. Ever.
