Apple's Carbon library, I think.

There is a nice problem with LyX on Qt/Mac, also. In their infinite
wisdom, the Qt/Mac coders decided that it would be a good idea to find
all the items in menus that look like "Preferences", "Settings",
"About LyX", remove them from their respective menus and put them in
the application menu.

Besides the fact that it is really bad taste (you cannot disable this
behaviour (except by recompiling qt/mac)), it completely breaks down
with LyX. For example, if one wants to access preference, the right
thing to do is to Open the Edit menu, close it, and then go to the
"LyX" menu.

I can think of some ways to work around this nonsense, but It would be
much better if trolltech had plans to improve the situation in later
releases (it seems that qt/mac evolves rapidly).
