I really second this initiative. I would like to see a gtk/gnome
version of LyX: gLyX, in contrast to kLyX distributed with kde. Since
many Linux distributions already supply the latest teTeX the back-end
is already there.
I'm using LyX in Solaris 2.5 (sun) and Linux RHL-5.9(i386). In both
environments the WM is WindowMaker. Additionally on the Linux boxes
I'm using gnome and is considering a compile of the gnome distribution
for Solaris.
Getting away from xforms enables a distribution of LyX for many
vendors such as Redhat and Debian since the source code will be
available together with the GPL license. Also, a wider use is
automatic since the LyX distributions will move away from the contrib
areas.
Sorry for posting to this list without being subscribing. However I'm
subscribing to the digest as well as the users list.
