Is that a cvs commit I see?
I don't know what this thing you're talking about is, but I gather you need
it either in buffer.C line 343 (when you read "\layout foo")
or layout.C line 1139 (sub NumberOfLayout). (I assume that the strip already
happens when you read the layout file, and it's just a question of putting
the strip in when you read a .lyx file.

I *thought* this was a FAQ, though it's not in the FAQ (whatever happened to
the FAQ?) or BUGS.lyx.
While we're talking about BUGS.lyx: sqrt is still listed in BUGS.lyx. If
Alejandro's patch works, that can probably be taken out.
While we're talking about BUGS: The file BUGS in the main distribution
directory currently has exactly one bug from 0.11.51. Does this bug still
exist? If it does, it probably doesn't fall under the "fixed really quick"
category, so it ought to be moved to BUGS.lyx.
JMarc, the page you mention in BUGS claims to have been last updated on
1998-01-16. That's rather a long time ago, don't you think?
