For example, in normal latex, if you have a numbered equation that is too wide, the equation will overwrite the equation number.

No, as I know, it isn't possible. The keyboard mapping is X-Server global. Changes to it are possible with the xmodmap client and all X-clients get an UnmapNotify/MapNotify notify event if the keyboard is changed. But we could have some function within LyX to change this global X keymap to some language, type some text and change back in the end?

BUG: lyx1.6.1fix1 crash W/O SAVING!
I have recently installed lyx1.6.1fix1 (on RH 7.0) from binary rpm which I got from the lyx website (.. actually from a sited linked from the lyx site). I read through the bugfixes for 1.6.1fix2 and this nasty bug is not included there. So please read on. Here is the problem: If there is any evil red text (ERT) in math mode, on save lyx crashes and both the original file and the lyx.emergency file are saveed incomplete. I had to fish pages of work out of the core dump to restore my work. The error can be reproduced as follows. 1. Select File-New or open existing lyx file 2. Within the document switch to math mode and type \sin (x) or any other expression containing \[some tex] that will display as ERT. (e.g. \omega will not result in crash) 3. File-Save will crash lyx and destroy some or all of the document (both the original and the .lyx.emergency) Since after the crash most of even previously saved work is destroyed, this bug makes lyx1.6.1 unusable. (I do use a fair bit of ERT.) I don't want to sound ungrateful, I appreciate all the work you guys are doing, and lyx has been good to me till now (crashes yes, but no work lost), but please put future versions of lyx through more testing before releasing them as 'stable'. For now I'll go back to 1.5.1fix2 which has not given me much trouble. I guess I should always stick with the highest fix-No. previous release. Would it be correct to assume that they are/will be more stable?

2 minor recommendations
Hi,
I'm a long-time user of lyx and I think that it's a great package (as a
sidenote, I'd love to see it running on Mac OS X, which presumably will
become possible with GUI independence). I've taken to using it for
creating html and pdf files, and there are two problems I've come across,
neither that are necessarily the fault of lyx, but which might be easy to
rectify.
1) When using pdflatex, \usepackage[english]{article},
and \usepackage{a4wide}, it seems as if the paper size in the pdf file is
set to letter rather than A4. Using \usepackage[a4page,english]{article}
followed by \usepackage{a4} recitifies the problem. Is there any reason
why selecting a4 very wide margins in the document dialog should force
the omission of the a4page option to \usepackage{article}?
2) When adding an HtmlUrl, the documentation says that only the name
will be printed, rather then both the name and the url. This doesn't
happen. Is there any way in which to get Lyx to include the hyperref.sty
package (which, incidentally, will create html and pdf documents with
correct hyperlinks), and then convert
\begin_inset LatexCommand \htmlurl[lyx home page]{http://www.lyx.org}
\end_inset
in the lyx file, to
\href{lyx home page}{http://www.lyx.org}
in the latex (and thus html and pdf) file?
thanks

Re: Crash on second screen
More details: This system is using a Matrox G-400 AGP video board with dual head support. I am running a single X server (XFree86 4.0.2) configured for two screens (as reported in xdpyinfo) each of the same geometry (1152x864 24 planes, w/ TrueColor visuals). I do not want to use Xinerama; I prefer having two distinct screens. It wouldn't surprise me if the problem is in the XForms library. I have encountered some other software that only recognizes the first logical screen of an X display. Xinerama hides this by handling multiple physical framebuffers (video hardware) as a single logical screen on an X display. -- Bradford Castalia [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Analyst http://azstarnet.com/~castalia idaeim 520-624-6629 Build an image in your mind, fit yourself into it.

You might consider investigating the use of the Xinerama module and thereby letting X pretend it has one big screen. That is, both screens form part of localhost:0.0, there is no :0.1.** You need Option Xinerama in the Modules section. You also just define the two Screen sections as usual but combine them in the one Layout.

so of this is glue code, but class variables should really _never_ be
anything else than private anyway. All out of class access should be
done with getters and setters. (ok I break this with the paragraph
parameters...at least it seems like that)
ah, but for tabular.C the case is different. struct cell_struct is strictly
internal, so the get/set rule is already abided by. But using a sharecontainer
would require an /additional/ level of get/sets to make the internal code of
tabular.C use the correct method for updating params.
I basically want to avoid 10 or so little set functions that all look like :
Struct tmp(*param);
tmp.member = mem;
set_From_struct(tmp);
and the corresponding get accessors, when we are already abiding by the get/set rule.
But I can't think how :(
I guess you mean InsetText... I have to have a look, could be.
yes.
rememver that if it is a gain depends upon how meny objects of the
specific types is in existance. If only a few objects the gain will be
very small.
yes, and of course how variable the objects are; so we want to leave out things
like widths etc.
In my old cell_struct code for tabular :
/// private cell parameters
struct cell_parameters {
/// beginning/part of multicolumn span ?
MultiColType multicolumn;
/// horizontal alignment
LyXAlignment alignment;
/// vertical alignment
VAlignment valignment;
/// top line present
bool top_line;
/// bottom line present
bool bottom_line;
/// left line present
bool left_line;
/// right line present
bool right_line;
///
BoxType usebox;
///
bool rotate;
/// special alignment
string align_special;
/// multicolumn p width
string p_width;
};
as I think these are likely to stay defaults for most cells.
thanks
