Hello!
Wouldn't it be cleaner to fix Lyx , so that lyxstring
is used explicitly in Lyx code?
Therefore, Lyx will use lyxstring, and Gnome will use string.
It is easy to add conversion routines too.
For ANSI conforming compilers, lyxstring could be
a typedef to string, and conversions just return the
string back.
This is somewhat the reverse of the current code, where
string is typedef to lyxstring.
