Well, I should try to answer to that. Actually, I think -should be
corrected by someone if I'm wrong, I'm currently working withe the 0.12
version of Lyx - that there is no relashionship between Lyx and Gnome,
neither KDE.
KLyx is basically an effort to let Lyx conform to a "standard" interface
which is defined by KDE. Maybe the developers added some functionalities
too, but that was not the main purpose of Klyx.In my opinion.
Gnome and KDE do not provide the same functionality. They resemble in the
way they both try to be a user-friendly interface to Linux/Unix, but they
are ways different. I think Gnome is more powerful and configurable, too,
but that is another question... :-)
So, if you just want Lyx, you can have it.And you don't ever need Gnome
nor KDE! (I don't have any on my Sun station at work, and still I'm using
Lyx.But I don't use Klyx, which needs KDE, or at least some of its
components, to work.)
For the multi-frame question, I thought there was a menu that allowed to
switch between a bunch of opened documents on the right of the main menu
of Lyx...Of course, you still work with only one frame, but at least you
don't need to close and reopen every document every time you switch back
and forth!

Maybe the developers will flame me for that, but I'm awaiting the
"imminent" 1.0 version for at least two months now...Still "imminent"
though...Much more than two month ago I suppose! ;-D (Well, just kidding,
guys!)
