Re: need quick help ;-)
I can start LyX now, BUT: When I open my thesis-file (which is a bit huge: 160 pages, at least 25 eps-graphics inside,...) lyx - and even the KDE-(XWindow)System CRASHES after 10 to 20 seconds while lyx is still loading my document (you know: all that stuff of rendering the eps-files etc...) ! :-( This is a sure sign that something is wrong outside LyX's reach. Your X should not go down no matter how badly LyX crashes. Make sure your xforms are installed properly. Maybe you could even try with another window manager to make sure it's not KDE's fault.

lang=es retranslation?
Hi all, Problem: LyX translation into spanish is not accurate. I can say it's even plain wrong (typographical page layout terms are not correctly translated). Problem #2: This translation has operational problems. i.e. you cannot open the document menu with F10, when you say A4 it takes A3 (in papersize) and so on. I find this is not acceptable in a sofware which maintains a very high quality standard otherwise. The spanish version is simply not usable (up to and including 1.1.5.fix1). Solution #1 (particular): does anybody know how to get lyx in english, without changing the LANG=es environment variable?. Solution #2 (general) I will be glad to retranslate all the interface, provided someone points out to me (offlist) the files to be edited and how to incorporate them into the current development version.
