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.
That's not true. The use of Qt in LyX is still constricted to a very
well defined subset of the LyX code. Most notably there is _not a single
line of Qt in the core_.
Well, there is plenty in support/, and I don't imagine someone
implementing a GTK frontend would want to reimplement all of that.
Though of course they could.
[And we still pay dearly for that restriction...]
I don't disagree.
