default in what sense? IMO, the only difference between the two frontends in that $ ./configure will build the xforms frontend. In all other respects, they are / should be equal. Incidentally, in 1.4 you'll be able to run $ ./configure --with-frontend='qt xforms' to generate executables lyx-qt and lyx-xforms.) Of course, there exist bugs in the Qt frontend that don't exist in the xforms frontend. And vice-versa. Judging from this mailing list, the vast majority of users use the Qt frontend, so I'd guess that Qt bugs will be spotted, and therefore squashed, rapidly. Indeed, if you look at the status.13x file that is part of each 1.3.x bug-fix release, you'll find many more Qt fixes than xforms ones. (I guess that's also symptomatic of newer code.) HTH, -- Angus
