Nice work, this looks like something I myself would find quite useful!
This seems like the perfect kind of thing for xmonad-extras, a sort of
"no-man's land" for extensions that are hard to compile for one reason
or another.

Hi all,
I made a layout modifier that saves per-window keyboard layouts and restores them on focus changes. Quite handy when working with several keyboard layouts as there's no external program which provides this functionality AND works with XMonad: kkbswitch is abandoned, xxkb fails to detect focus changes correctly.
So here it is: http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=24371
However I'm not sure if I should send it to contrib: it heavily depends on FFI and requires X header files to compile.
Usage: either drop as XKBLayout.hsc in contrib/XMonad/Layout , add to xmonad-contrib.cabal and rebuild Or put into ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Layout as XKBLayout.hsc and run through hsc2hs Then follow instructions from the header. Basically just import and add to the layout hook.
xxkb can still be used as an indicator
