Are you sure? The Qt3 frontend handles it pretty good on Windows, too.

I am not sure it has to be emulated, unless something changed in this
respect in Qt4. I badly miss this option, maybe because I am not a
typical Windows user and expect that it works as it should. I use LyX
through scripts for doing different jobs and in some cases I want that
the LyX window has small dimensions. This was working before and if it
doesn't work anymore, it is a regression, and a bad one from my point
of view... I begin thinking that nuking the Qt3 frontend was not such
a bright idea... Seems Qt4 has severe limitations in some area...
I could continue ranting forever if I can't have back -geometry ;-)
