You should have no problems with the namespaces. Thay'll just work.

Well it's a change in format, but we apparently don't mind so much if the
preferences file changes. Anyway you could parse the reading in lyxrc.C's
read method as
case RC_DISPLAY_GRAPHICS:
if (lexrc.next())
display_graphics = lexrc.getString();
if (display_graphics == "mono")
display_graphics == "monochrome";
else if ...
break;
If you really, really cared. Personally I wouldn't bother.
