Jeff - I do still see the crash on LyX-Mac 1.4.2, though. It will be interesting to see if it is still there in the fink package, too... By the way, while compiling lyx 1.4.2 myself, I discovered (or Google discovered for me) that there is a way to patch QT-mac so that the Ctrl key regains its emacs-like functionality, and the Command key becomes a meta key. I tried it and it works with the Mac versions of qt3 and lyx 1.4.2. I wonder if one can also do something like that with the X11 qt3 that fink's lyx uses. That way lyx-qt would finally have a meta key, the way it did with xforms. If there's interest in this, I could send more information...
