Right. To recap, for the interested among you: Alfredo wrote an elegant pseudo- thread controller to spawn these processes in such a way that the OS wasn't swamped by 100s of simultaneous conversion routines. It's definitely the way to go for the LaTeX conversion too. The graphics conversions do, indeed, run asynchronously and do indeed emit a "done" signal when they complete. Please don't try and make LyX a genuinely multithreaded app. Angus
