Hi Vincent, this solution is perfectly fine with me - would you kindly consider to include my debugging - extension to GuiApplication.cpp as well? I never ever worked on a public source repository - and basically I think that I would not come up with too many contributions so some other nice pe

Dear Andre, thanks for the pointer, I see, I see, I forgot to apply the "stderr" in fprintf ... I know, there are lots of people around having higher programming capabilities than I do ;-), but anyway, one should not mix up C and C++, so, it wasn't that bad to modify LYXERR output instead .
