I saw the settings in my control panel, where you just described. But all of them have "(None)" listed as the key sequence.

Maybe Eclipse and Gaim have their own hooks into that feature that assign some kind of default key sequence.

Michael,

Sorry for my rambling email -- I was really tired and not writing clearly. What I had meant to say was that I only noticed I was switching languages by accident because I had Russian installed and I noticed that I was typing cyrillic all of a sudden ;) If you just have romantic languages or an American vs UK keyboard layout, all you will notice is a handful of punctuation differences.

As the previous poster said, this is a windows setting that allows you to change the input language + keyboard on a per program basis while it is running. You can disable this (under Windows XP, Luna style)
by start->settings->control panel->Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options->Regional and Language Options->Languages tab->Details button->Key Settings Button->Change Key Sequence->uncheck boxes.

It is a useful keyboard shortcut, but not something I often use -- it would be much nicer if it was a little harder to accidentally type.

I think it is a Windows thing, not an Eclipse thing... you actually disable it from Windows.

Congrats for getting it solved and good luck!
