Dear developers, I am running LyX on Gentoo Linux with the Xfce Desktop Environment. As a user of--primarily--GTK+2 applications (with Opera and LyX, the two noticeable exceptions), I prefer, well, GTK+ applications. Nonetheless, I would like to mention that apart minor inconveniences, I am quite OK with the QT4 fronted of LyX. To me, one important aspect is that LyX does not link to the KDE libraries, as I have none on my system.
I started using LyX with the GTK+ frontend, and wasn't exceptionally happy when its development stalled. Today, I've stumbled on the GSoC2008 Wiki page, and especially the "Finish GTK frontend" [1] subsection, under "Controversies". My first question: could this become a reality for post-1.6 LyX? Second, I've noticed the "Make LyX also a KDE program" [2] under "Suggestions". From my personal perspective, this development is much more controversial than the first one. I am quite sure that "GTK-only" users could quickly turn away from LyX if it became KDE-dependent. Here my questio is similar: could this become a reality for post-1.6 LyX, especially if the GTK+ frontend is not revived / maintained concomitantly? Thanks in advance, Liviu [1] http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/GSoC2008#toc27 [2] http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/GSoC2008#toc24
