You seem to be right :)
I just rebuilt lyx-1.1.5 once against xforms-0.89 and once against
xforms-0.88.1 as it comes with SuSE-6.4.
Big surprize: Both versions seem to work now.
However, I don't have any explanation for the core dumps I had
experienced (Lyx dumped core right at the startup). I am sure I did
not have mixed libraries and headers, because the core dumps had
caused me to upgrade xforms and I didn't have xforms-0.89 before :)
Now, I am wondering, what might have caused the problems (I upgraded
to XFree4.0 since then, it comes with a new libxpm).
