I don't expect lyx to depend solely on KDE, but if it could take advantage of its features it would be interesting. Our experiences with KDE have been clearly different I don't have those problems you mention. I have also noticed a trend in kde to be faster and stable, not otherwise. > I've used LyX since 2001, and it's been rock solid stable.

Again DCOP is a good thing for what it was designed and is being the base for further work under the freedesktop.org umbrella. Again if lyx could take advantage of this (optionally) this could only be a good thing. Notice that I am not saying that KDE is perfect (far from it) but it is a good technology and if lyx would benefit from being able to be more integrated with it. As noted everywhere in this thread this shouldn't be an exclusive feature but an add-on. > SteveT -- José Abílio
