Some more questions, just to get my head around things: * xdvi is able to communicate with LyX through the lyxclient socket interface, right? But LyX isn't able to talk to xdvi through this interface yet. Correct? * if LyX were able to talk to xdvi through the lyxclient interface, then we wouldn't have to keep creating a new xdvi process in "client" mode each time I click in the LyX window which is what happens now. Instead we could just pass a message through the socket. Correct? * Imagine that LyX can now communicate with xdvi through this socket interface. Is your explanation about LyX's row IDs still valid? I'm guessing yes, but I've guessed wrong before :) > > If I am right then I think that you should move the IDs out of BufferView > > and into Buffer. > > Please reconsider your opinion.

I think that this is a great piece of work and think it should have gone into the LyX sources a long, long time ago. > Thank you, Angus. How is William doing?
