Currently I may confirm the the Pixmap Cache patch works (I didn't had a crash
before and its ok after svn update too).
But I cannot View-PDF the users guide because of missing latex macros for
Apples keyboard symbols (command key, alt key, shift key). Maybe I have to download
and install additional LaTeX-packages...

Look in the archive, there was a discussion about those symbols earlier.
Problem at that time was that the standard Latex-fonts do not have those symbols, but there were some special packages that provide them. If you want, you can check if one of those packages made it into ctan / MacTex/TexLive 2008 by now (then we could use them), or come up with a way how to include them in LyX. (There was no immediate solution at that time, but maybe we could just include some images...)


The other problem I have is the building of an Universal Binary Package. I'm lost with the different build systems, Mac OS versions, SDKs, Qt-Libraries. I have to start
over later.

I failed to build universals with cmake/XCode. My conclusion was that it should be possible, but that it would need good knowledge of cmake and some changes to CMakeLists.txt, so I gave up went the autotools path.

(The script I got from Konrad Hofbauer is useful but I have to rebuild Qt for universal packages first)

And, Qt needs to be built statically. Plus, if the file should be for distribution, one needs to make sure to build against the SDK instead of the local libraries (that is why all the effort in the script is needed). Otherwise, people experience all sorts of strange bugs.

P.S. But for programming and testing locally, there is no need for all of this (static, universal, SDK, ...).
