Description:
I'm having 2 keyboard layouuts in XFCE, US/GR in my case. Untill lately, when I changed the layout on one application other open applications weren't affected.
I could have US in firefox and GR in Opera for example.

Now when I change the layout on my main display, the secondary display of my desktop changes layout to all open applications.
Applications running on the main display do not change, only applications on the secondary display.
Each display is it's own desktop (that is on the pointer travels back and forth, no programs).


Additional info:
* package version(s)
xorg-server 1.13.0-2 patched with this https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31959


Steps to reproduce:
On a dual-head setup open some programs on the main display and some on the secondary.
Switching keyboard layouts affects only the active program in the display as it should but also affects all running programs on secondary display.

Hope I described it in a way that makes sense...
This task depends upon

Sounds like another upstream issue. Please report it to the freedesktop.org tracker.
