Re: Tables stuff
Note, that I have a table wih 2 columns 3cm and 7cm, and below it a table with 10 columns 1cm each. Shouldn't they match in size? ;^) No. In the first case the width of your table is 10 cm + \tabcolsep, in the latter 10cm + 9 \tabcolsep. This is standard LaTeX behaviour. Andre' Aha! That explains a similar problem I had some time ago. I find I use multicolumns a lot to get irregular tables to line up properly. I don't know if that is a correct use of multicolumns, but it works for what I need. Generally: I am using latex for more than ten years and for me the table-handling of lyx is a _very_ strong argument for using it. ;-) Ciao! juh I totally agree with this. Tony.

Re: No error message if disks are full?
I know it's just a matter of personal taste, but I personally like the little "xconsole" program...just have it there around in a corner of your screen... You have a point here... I just wasn't aware that there was a way to make the console message appear in XWindows and that you don't have to Alt-F1 everytime to read them. [I tried the xconsole program but no messages appeared there while I did get messages on the Alt-F1 screen, am I doing something wrong?] I always used xconsole to watch what Lyx was up to (especially LaTeX runs etc.) but when I upgraded to RedHat 5.2 I had no output in the window unless I ran xconsole su'd to root, so I've got out of the habit now.
