There are some window managers (e.g. the one of KDE) that support
per-window keyboard mapping. Or rather: with XKB, you have up to 4
groups, and switching between them is relatively cheap. Thus this
supports switching groups between windows.
I suppose you can map querty for one groups and dvorak for another. Not
exactly sure how.
