Well... first, I don't understand why the name of the app should have
anything to do with parsing the command-line options. Sure, the name of
the app is always used as the instance name for X resources, but what
does that have to do with the command line?
Obviously, for xforms perhaps it does (weird!). At the very least, if
it's trying to combing the command-line handling with the "normal"
resource handling somehow, it should use the resource class name "LyX",
not the instance name.
But, it doesn't appear to be. The whole thing is odd, but if you're
handing argc/argv off to xforms to parse things like xpos/ypos/etc., I
doubt there's much you can do except report a bug to the xforms folks.

Bleah. When did you say you were moving to a new toolkit ? :)
Xforms may be simple to develop with, but it sure has some bletcherous
aspects (the menu handling I find particularly annoying :-/).

Oh, yah, er, um, hrumph. Ahem.
