I think that os_unix.C could be copied verbatim to os_mac.C and then the two could evolve separately. Otherwise, code specific for OS X could be #ifdef'd in os_unix.C. > Also, I would think that a pure Qt/X11 OS X app (a la fink) would not > like to use the native vewers by default. Similarly, would a native > cygwin/Qt/X11 app want to use the windows viewers? The scripts launching the X server use by default the -multiwindow switch. This means that X11 apps are almost undistinguishable from native ones, as, in a sense, Windows acts as a Window Manager. So, yes it makes sense using Windows viewers. If one does not use the -multiwindow switch, then the X11 root window gets its own window and native apps would appear outside it. This could be configurable. For example, I have not abandoned the idea of selecting the way LyX/Cygwin deals with path-styles. It could be bring further ahead by converting the infamous checkbox to mean "Behave as a truly posix app or not". -- Enrico
