Footnotes in longtables

2011-10-10 Thread Lastalda Felina 
Hello!

I'm trying to insert a footnote in a longtable.

The embedded objects manual as well as several sources on the web tell
me this should not be a problem, or that's how I read them.
But when I do it, the little number shows up but the footnote text
doesn't. (Footnotes outside the table work fine, though!)

Can anyone help me, please?

I can supply a minimal file with the problem, but as I've sent out
this question a week ago with the minimal file attached and got no
replies, I'm afraid that the list didn't like me attaching a file. But
I'm happy to send it upon request.

Thank you!

Abbildung 1.10text- is the second number two-digit, no space between 
number and text

how can i change this?
p.s. how can i change in classicthesis the footnote? currently there is the

Hi Liviu,

I agree with your strategy as a general approach, but given the
tendency of the students to religiously copy the projection, I prefer
to limit a lot the contents of my slides, and uncover things in a very
progressive way in my courses. Otherwise, they get obsessed by copying
the screen and they do not listen to the explanations... As a
consequence, for these cases, I prefer something automatic and
systematical.

 I use regularly Beamer with LyX, and of course it always depends what
 you do and how you subsequently present your slides, but my experience
 with stepwise display (everywhere) is: don't. Stepwise is good in
 specific places, but usually it makes more sense (for me, anyway) to
 display in blocks. For example, you can put two items in one slide and
 uncover the three next in the second slide. I also tend to combine
 this with 'block' environment (again, with pauses between 'blocks'),
 and sometimes the vertical columns (don't remember their proper name).
 But stepwise uncovering for every item tends not to work for me.

It's not even a footnote, in a sense that the text points to it. If you 
want to remove it, read the manual, there's an option to classicthesis.sty.
If you want to change it to something else, you'll have to change
