No. Also note that J�rgen said kde-1.1.x which uses qt-1.4x. You say that you
use qt-2.2.x. These are incompatible.
The road map is:
Remove all references to XFORMS from the core of the lyx code base and
instead emit signals of the form BRING_UP_DIALOG_INSET_XXX. This signal is
connected to a slot in a GUI-dependent dialog class that launches the
relevant dialog.
We are concentrating our efforts on this stripping of xforms out of the core.
The first implementation of the new GUI will be based on XFORMS in the
src/frontends/xforms directory, but people are already working at porting
these new xforms dialogs to kde-1.1.x and to gnome. See stuff in
frontends/kde and frontends/gnome.
Most dialogs are still embedded deep inside the lyx core. Only a few have
been moved into frontends/xforms. For a status report see www.devel.lyx.org.
Thus, if you do configure --with-frontend=kde, about 80% of the dialogs will
be the old xforms ones. The remaining 20% will be either the new xforms ones
or kde dialogs if they have been ported to kde.
If you really, really want to have a few kde dialogs, then download the
kde-1.1.x libs (only the libs are needed). And qt-1.44 of course.
Does this make things clearer?
