Abdelrazak,
Thank you for the offer: I can wait until it's merged
with the main development tree. Just take your time to
better your work. The new toolkit, I believe,
*potentially* has several advantages over QT/Win Free
3.3.5 and therefore it's more attracting to me. On the
other hand, it seems that the release is pretty close
and therefore I won't wait too long :). I'll
investigate the source code then.

I have no criticism about neither LyX developers nor
LyX community. I understand many people here work on
Linux and lyX also started and evolved on that
platform first. Naturally this causes different
choices and opinions. That's just fine, I have no
complaints. But as LyX is open source, I'm determined
to cahnge my copy to my taste :). This also gives me a
chance to better understand LyX internals.

Regards,
Nusret
