OK, what I meant is: if there will be more changes, it might be tricky for you
to maintain your tree (because there might be conflicting changes).

I think the user should only see the and enter the "Index Name" parameter
(which should then be visible in the index dialog dropbox). All other
parameters are interal shortcuts, which are of no concern for the LyX users
(because they use the combo box and they do not have to run makeindex/xindy
manually). So those should be created automatically.
BTW I forgot one element: The \printindex inset will also need a dialog, where
the user can chose which index it represents (similar to the bibtex inset)
\printindex is a bit more complex than you think.. If we use
index.sty, then \printindex has two parameters: index name and
preamble. In multind.sty the second parameter becomes the index title.
Same as, in Splitidx.sty second param is the title of index. The
preamble is handled by \setindexpreamble command. There is
\printsubindex thing. Well, we don't have to support that, since user
can add it as a latex entry. There is also merging indices, but I
don't think I will implement it for the first version.
I guess, It will not very difficult, though..

The least I can do is the port to qt3 (and testing).
