There is a difference between "it compiles" and "it works without any bugs". I mean the dialog
source code merge is error prone, just because we are humans and might forget somethig. What is
displeasing me are renamings like "LyXServer" -> "Server", there's no real advantage and this could
also be done at the beginning of the LyX 1.6 development.

Does anybody know this method? But besides this, now also many of the 1.5 patches in Bugzilla have
the be rewritten. For me it was not easy to follow e.g. where for example a patch to tabular.C is to
be applied now.
You are right that I should have been shout before these actions but it wasn't clear to me that not
simply the file were renamed fron .C -> .cpp. This change is OK as this can be followed easily, the
problem are the file merges and the file and variable renamings.
