Honestly I don't think so but that is irrelevant here. :-) The idea was to have a kde frontend in addition to the qt frontend, obviously it would be able to share much code but it could have a better integration with kde. Think about lyx-kde in the same foot as lyx-gtk, as being alternatives to lyx-qt. FWIW if lyx-gtk was popular you could have a lyx-gnome to add to the party. The only that is missing from this picture is lyx-cli (xterm). But for the moment these are dreams (or vapourware if you prefer). ;-) The reason why I said above that this irrelevant is that none has done any work in either lyx-gtk or lyx-kde. :-) > Thanks in advance, > Liviu > > [1] http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/GSoC2008#toc27 > [2] http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/GSoC2008#toc24 -- José Abílio
