Hmpf. And do you blame OpenOffice if it cannot print on your brand new
ColorMatic3200, just because you do not have the drivers? After all,
there is this enticing "Print" menu! (OK, this is unfair, but in this
respect I plead tit-for-tat :)

We _do_ care about these problems, and we are going to do something
about it, but the solution is not going to be "let's reconfigure the
user's TeX distribution".

In general, we try to be very conservative about what packages are
used by LyX (in terms of stability and availability). It seems that
the nomencl.sty package does not follow this rule and this is
regrettable.
