Just a couple of days ago I started playing with input methods and it was like a new world! I live in Sweden and have a Swedish keyboard but switched to use English layout some months ago. I mostly write in English but now and then I need my Swedish characters when chatting or writing some e-mail, so I switched back and forth between the layouts. When I found this cool input method thing, there is no longer a need for that as I can compose my Swedish characters in Emacs. Groovy! But, as the parent poster found out, I have to switch input method in each buffer I want it. Being able to change it globally would be useful.
