Yeah... but I guess that even if possible we would like to that with
an exec wrapper:
lyx --gui=qt starts lyx-qt
lyx --gui=gtk starts lyx-gtk
Without dragging in both libs all the time.
(of course there is dlopen and dynamic linking... but that would be
overkill)
Personally, I think the frontend fits very well in a dynamic library.
Being able to distribute a modified GUI dll without having to touch and
distribute the core would be very nice.

? Clipboard and selection? does nogui/cli need that?
No, that's what I said.

No. :-) That is the hard part.
Well, the hard part is to decide what to put on screen, what to
simplify, etc. Once you know that, a simple text-mode LyX editor that
will only allow to modify text should not be very difficult to implement.
