About/Preferences/Quit entries. They are then 'stolen' by Qt/Mac and

Hi all.. just curious - how did the name LyX come about? Do L
and X come from LaTeX? If so, what does y stand for? Or does it
not stand for anything?
Thanks,

The original name was LyriX, as described here:
http://www.lyx.org/news/20001220.php3#item1
Thanks JMarc for the link... if the company that's named there is
the same as the one that's currently in the middle of the Linux
controversy, then I guess it's very fortunate that the name was changed!

Hi,

reason I need to go back to 1.3.3 is cos the table editing is broken now

1. In the Merge Changes box, would it be possible to show the changed stuff
It would be relatively easy to work well for 80% of cases. File it as an
enhancement.
Great!! I've filed the enhancement request..
Context menu stuff has been wanted for a long time. It requires some
very careful design, and I'm not looking at doing anything in the
current tree right now.
