I just tried (linelen = 1), and it works pretty well, i.e., it focuses

Ideally this would not uncover any bugs as LyX-GC has to deal with
linebreaks. I will try setting the ChkTeX linelen to 1 and seeing what
breaks. This might uncover some bugs in LyX-GC where errors get missed
if they are split onto multiple lines.
As of now, I get a stupid

So, that's why chktex is complaining about the missing space -- this is
to be considered as a chktex bug (IMHO) -- however, in the

Probably you have more experience than me in using chktex, so, please,
comment on this. In the meantime, I'm leaving just the standard linelen
from the RC file also for chktex.
