Re: LyX needs a quicker way to apply character styles

Steve, you can copy the stdmenus.inc file into your local LyX user
directory, e.g., to
     ~/.lyx/ui/stdmenus.inc
LyX will then use your local version, and you do not have to modify the
system version.

I think that creating a dummy file that includes default.ui and then 
does other things is safer. Otherwise, your stdmenus.inc file will be 
obsolete every time LyX gets updated.
