This is:
* old code that must soon be split into a Controller and a View if GUI-I is 
to be finished
* old code that was written by one person (me) when he was first venturing 
into the world of C++.

If beautifying means that more than one person is then more willing to tackle 
the split then I'm all for it.

Anyway, didn't I read (JMarc?, André?) 6 months ago saying that, as far as 
the developers are concerned, LyX has sufficient functionality for most of 
their needs. They continue to develop it further becasue LyX has become an 
exercise in writing beautiful code.

So, there's no need to justify this further!
