As a translator I have to say that the number of toolkits increase the amount of work for the translators as well. Different toolsets have different ways to specify shortcuts and each have to be translated manually. So as a translator I would like to have only one toolset to work with, and if I could have chosen I would loved a kde-frontend. There is so many things we could have gotten for free if we would made the plunge to kde instead of qt. (on the fly spell check, kio-slaves to name two from the top of my head). And offcourse as kde4 is going to be ported to win32 and osx it could be used on those architectures as well. ;) (packing work still remains, though) However, I can see why it is not going to happen as it would mean ripping out parts of lyx`s tookit independent parts and replacing them with kdelibs. So I am happy with the status quo. Ingar
