The GUI indepence means same content, different look. Isn't it? I thougth that the main reason for creating different frontends is achieve independence from OS native graphics support. You can compile it under different GUIs for example: GTK, Qt and XForms, whenever they are already exits for different OSes, they can solve most of the porting effort. So the developer can focus on important issues. Maybe, I am totally wrong, am I??? AL> If you want to support only Qt, then do so. I'm firmly of the opinion that AL> we should ditch XForms and force the Gtk frontend to be "self sufficient". I have to add support for all of the frontends, of course! This is not a question. I am friend of LyX, not its enemy! In case I would like to help to distribute LyX, I have to do it with whole LyX, not with half. -- Alex mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
