That was quick.
It's probably worth saying here, too, that the Qt libraries now do a lot
more work in LyX than they did a year or so ago. They are present, for
example, in support/FileName. So while one could write a GTK frontend,
the changes made to LyX's codebase over the last year makes a Qt-less
install impossible. Of course, that could be changed again, but, as
Andre said elsewhere, it turns out that there are a lot of advantages to
these changes, especially when you're trying to as serious as we are
about being cross-platform. It's just a fact that Qt runs on a lot of stuff.
