Ok, I see. I only thought of screeenshots showing the entire lyx window, 
but in this case you were thinking more of a small figure/illustration.

A slight drawback with screenshots is that the appearance might differe
between the Qt and Xforms version, not sure if that's a real problem or
not.

Maybe.. I actually found section 4.2 a bit confusion (otoh, it's the day 
after new year's eve right now). So a small illustration might be useful 
here as well.

PS. Just to be clear, I meant placing screenshots on the wiki, not the
actual discussions.
