Re: LyX still does not compile (workaround found, but bug real)

Yes, that's the problem. We have a SigC::Object that is brought into
global space (because some compilers do not have namespaces). However,
Object is only defined for Xt and xforms does not rely on Xt.

My xforms 0.88.1 forms.h does not have this behaviour. I see two
possibilities:

- people use a lyx rpm. Then they do not need to recompile and all is
  well.

- people want to recompile. The they are smart enough to upgrade their
  xforms rpm.

Arghh! LyX was already ported _from_ Motif, so I hope it will not go
back. More seriously, when this happens, we will probably rely on
namespaces anyway.

And as Lars pointed out, naming a struct Object in a library is _bad_.
