Sorry, but what you describe still strikes me as something that can be
easily done with a good window manager setup. Good window managers (fvwm,
Window Maker, sawfish, or especially my favorite larswm) allow you to
rapidly switch virtual desktops and switch / iconify and re-zoom windows
via keyboard shortcuts. LyX couldn't do this more efficiently.
For looking up bibtex keys, you can either use Ctrl+s (fast search) in jed
or and other Emacs clone, or use 'bibtool -X ' on the commandline.
