Not unless we get a lot of help for this feature.
Currently LyX has quite a bit of dependencies inside its Core on
X-Server and the Xforms toolkit, it will take some time to do the
seperation as it's a delicate operation.
At the current stage most of the dialogs were converted for GUII, but
they were not converted to the native widgets, that is we can pretty
easily do them in another toolkit (either GTK+/Gnome or Qt2), it is
intended to do the next stage after version 1.2.0 is released.
a Qt2 or Gnome/GTK+ version will only be released (hopefully) during
2002, possibly first half, though as usual, this is a volunteer effort
and so no real promise on dates for features.
