Uurrg.

Two input groups doesn't make sense unless you have two foci.
That means the concept "the window with focus" becomes "the list of 
windows with focus".

I think it would need either two event queues, or a new parameter
in the event queue to say which input group created the event.
I don't know that area, but I'm not sure that such a change could be done
without changing the protocol.

I really don't like the sound of that.
