Jason,
thanks much - I've also put a link to your patched version for PPC on
my page. Looking at the LyX wiki, I'm also thinking I should add
several little things: maybe a new page called "Modifier keys in
LyX", both as a quick overview of how the default version works on a
Mac, and then a discussion of (and links to) the emacs-keybinding
versions. I would also include the Apple-X11 versions of LyX in that
discussion; and in the future this might allow us to collect info on
how to deal with qt4, or point to things like UControl, and the OSX-
built-in ways of customizing the modifier keys freely. OS X' System
Preferences menu already made a big first step in that direction,
only it's not customizable on a per-application basis.
Also, it seems the page
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnMac
where the main downloads are should also be linked to from the main
page of the Mac group, http://wiki.lyx.org/Mac/Mac
I'll do this soon, unless I hear objections.

Jens,
Glad to hear you find the patch useful. It's too bad there doesn't
seem
to be an easy way to make the modifier keys configurable at runtime
(if
I recall, someone looked into this a while ago) so for now patching Qt
is still the path of least resistance.
I was finally able to get 1.4.2 to build for PPC (GCC 3.3, OS X
10.4.7).
I Googled the compiler errors I was getting and discovered that I
needed
to add "-lSystemStubs" to LDFLAGS to avoid undefined symbols.
I've posted a new disk image at http://kuala.smu.edu.sg/~jason/lyx/
and
linked that page to yours with the Intel version.
regards,

Jason,
I can confirm that your patch still works for LyX 1.4.2 - I had
actually tried this a week ago on an Intel Mac. That patch is a
life saver for emacs people! I'll post the LyX 1.4.2 Mac Intel
version with the key patch on my site in a few minutes (just the
application). I won't be able to get to a computer for a day or
two, but hope this helps...
