Ye, now I see the George's point: he's on Linux where there is no input
*language* present (at least, in his flavour of Linux) and only input keyboard
layout is present ;-). We are keeping a small holywar on this topic at another
place, too.

There is generally no such stuff in today's global world as "language of
*document*". There are exceptions, of course.

> I add the fourth, it wouldn't be very convenient to switch between them
But how the h...l are you going to tell the word processor that "this word in
the sentence is in language1, that paragraph is in language2, those two are in
language3"? You have to have something referring to *all* the relevant
languages. For Windows, it is "language of input"; I don't know if there is some
equivalent in Linux. If there is none then some different approach should be
taken in Linux. And, actually, the right one would be not "lets limit the
functionality of OOo to the least common denominator between Linux, Windows,
Solaris, MacOS, ..." but to wrtie an input language switcher for Linux instead.
IIRC there were no keyboard layout switchers at the beginning of the life, 
either.

So my suggestion for improvement of backward compatibility is: introduce one
more choice "Default languages for documents" combobox: [autodetect]. If this
option is selected then apply the current functionality of the 1035 fix, if not
then fall back to OOo2.4- behaviour.
